About Scioto-Hocking Timber Management, LLC
Scioto-Hocking Timber Management, LLC is a forestry consulting business in Amanda, Ohio, run by Trevor Spence. The company was started in 2025 and works with landowners on timber sales and forest planning rather than buying or logging timber itself. The work covers timber sale administration, forest management planning, timber appraisal, timber trespass investigation, and mapping and boundary marking. On the sale side, Trevor says "Getting the most from your timber sale is crucial," and the process runs front to back: analyzing your timber, merchandising the sale, and monitoring the harvest operations. They also point out that a Forest Management Plan can make a property eligible for Ohio's property tax reduction programs, which are aimed at landowners with 10 or more acres. Beyond standard forestry work, Scioto-Hocking also offers drone-based wildlife surveys and real estate photography and videography. The business serves Fairfield County and describes its broader service area as South-Central Ohio and surrounding counties. Trevor Spence is a Certified Forestry Technician, an active member of the Ohio Forestry Association, a member of the Society of American Foresters, and holds SAF's Forestry Technician certification. This fits a landowner in or near Fairfield County who wants one person to handle a timber sale from appraisal through the harvest, and who might also want drone footage or wildlife survey work alongside the forestry side.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
