Clum-Daisher Forestry Consultants
About Clum-Daisher Forestry Consultants
Clum-Daisher Forestry Consultants is a forestry consulting and timber buying business in Canton, Ohio. The company goes back to 1997, when it started as Clum Forestry Consultants. In January 2020, Randy and Koral Clum sold it to longtime employee Keith Daisher, who runs it now as Clum-Daisher Forestry. They handle timber sales from start to finish: picking which trees to sell, marking them with paint, writing up a bid prospectus with board footage and diameters, soliciting bids, signing the contract with the high bidder, and staying involved while the logging happens, including cleanup and water bars when the job is done. Beyond timber sales they do forest management planning, timber stand improvement, CAUV and OFTL tax reduction plans, EQIP and CRP project help, timber appraisals, tree farm inspections, invasive species control, wildlife and pollinator habitat work, trail building, and day-to-day maintenance with their Ventrac tractor. Their foresters belong to the Association of Consulting Foresters, the Society of American Foresters, the Ohio Forestry Association, and the East Central Ohio Forestry Association, and they're certified Tree Farm Inspectors through the American Tree Farm System. They list Stark County among the counties they serve, alongside Carroll, Coshocton, Guernsey, Harrison, Holmes, Medina, Portage, Summit, Tuscarawas, and Wayne, and describe their service area as Northeast, Central, and Southeast Ohio. On timber sales they say plainly that "the best price may not be the best deal," and that they're there to "represent and protect your interests" through a process most landowners only go through once or twice in a lifetime. That makes this a fit for someone who wants a forester walking the whole sale with them, not just a buyer making an offer. From managemyforest.com, read 8 October 2026.
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.
