Forestry Consultants

Century Forest Management | Oregon Logging Company is a logging company based in Monroe, Oregon, working with private landowners across Western Oregon. They take on commercial thinning, forest management, land and timber acquisition, land clearing, timber harvesting, and timber valuation, cruising, and appraisal. The company has been operating since 2017. A job with them starts with a free on-site consultation, and they say there are "no upfront costs" to get going. From there they handle the paperwork, the notifications, the actual cutting, piling of brush, and getting the ground ready for replanting. They also track every load that leaves your property so you get a summary of volume, destinations, and yields when it's done. They work in Benton, Lane, Douglas, Linn, Lincoln, Marion, and Polk counties. No stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job described is a 50 acre stand that was thinned. This fits a landowner with a sizeable property, likely 50 acres or more, who wants the whole process handled start to finish, including the paperwork and the cleanup, and who wants to know exactly where their logs end up and what they sold for.

Timber Tomorrow is based in Sweet Home, Oregon, and buys timber and timberland, with forestry consulting and independent logging work alongside that. It describes itself as a forest management service company that brings value to private woodland owners. The work on offer includes purchasing timber and timberland, forest management and timber marketing, timber harvesting and estate planning, timber cruising and appraisals, forest road construction, and land clearing and reforestation. Coverage runs across western Oregon and southwest Washington, and it serves Linn County. Sandy Gordon founded Timber Tomorrow in 1981, so the business has been at this work since then. It holds accreditation as an Oregon Professional Logging Company, and it belongs to the Association of Oregon Loggers, the Oregon Small Woodland Association, the Council on Forestry Engineering, and the Oregon Forest Industrial Council. On its approach, Timber Tomorrow points to "efficient and environmentally friendly land management" and says its "state-of-the-art equipment means lower impact on the natural landscape." This fits a landowner who wants one outfit that can buy the timber, run the logging, and also handle the forest road work or land clearing that comes with it, rather than lining up separate contractors for each piece.

Hull-Oakes Lumber Co is a mill in Monroe, Oregon. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. It is also listed as a timber buyer and a consulting forester. A listing here is not an endorsement.

NWTL Inc. is a logging contractor based in Sandy, Oregon. They describe themselves as "a full service logging contractor offering all phases of commercial harvest operations offered from ground-based logging to cable logging," which covers hand felling, tractor and shovel logging, and cable logging. Beyond cutting timber, they handle the whole chain: timber management plans, the harvest itself, and brokering the logs afterward. On brokering, they say they work with "relationships with smaller specialty markets such as small custom mills, log home builders, and commercial firewood suppliers," in addition to the bigger export, domestic, and pulp markets. They also do land clearing for people converting forest to farmland or a home site, charging by the acre, hour, or project, and they handle stump removal and slash disposal. Thinning and clear cutting jobs are billed on a percentage basis or by the MBF. For forest management, they work through pre-commercial thinning, multi-stage thinnings, clear cutting, and reforestation. There's no stated minimum acreage, but they say they take on "small stands of timber to large tracts," so size alone isn't a barrier. Their logging and timber work isn't tied to a single county, though their residential tree service is offered specifically to east Clackamas County. They're licensed, bonded, and insured under CCB# 192130, and they offer free timber evaluations and estimates before a job starts. This one suits a landowner who wants a single contractor to manage the standing timber, cut it, and find a buyer for the logs, rather than hiring separate people for each step.

Bob's Timber Cutting Corp. is a logging contractor in Oregon City, Oregon. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. It is also listed as a consulting forester. A listing here is not an endorsement.

Bighorn Logging Corporation is a logging contractor based in Banks, Oregon. They handle the whole job if you want it: timber cruising, permitting with the Oregon Department of Forestry, job layouts, land clearing, marketing your timber, and replanting afterward. They also take on road building and general land management for landowners. They run both cable and ground logging equipment, which lets them work different kinds of ground, and they do both hand cutting crews and mechanized cutting depending on what a unit needs. For cruising, they use a program called "Super Ace" along with GPS mapping so you can get an estimate of board feet and tree count before you commit to anything. They currently serve Washington County. There's no stated minimum acreage, but their own description of current work is managing "several hundred acres for different land owners throughout Oregon," so this looks like a company set up for larger ownerships rather than a few acres out back. They've been Oregon Professional Logger certified since 1996, belong to Associated Oregon Loggers and the Oregon Small Woodlands Association, and are currently certified under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. The company started in 1981. This fits a landowner with a sizeable tract who wants one outfit to run cruising, permitting, cutting, and road work together, more than someone with a small backyard parcel looking for a single quick sale.

Rieger Logging is a logging company based in Tillamook, Oregon. They do ground-based and cable yarding logging, and also handle land clearing and timberland management, with forestry consulting as well. The work covers timber harvesting and marketing, clearing land down to stumps and brush, and ongoing timberland management that looks at wildlife habitat and forest health alongside harvest planning. On the logging side they talk about "building a lay", piling logs so the felled tree stays suspended and whole, since mills pay more for long, unbroken logs. They serve Tillamook, Washington, Yamhill, Clackamas, Polk, Marion, Benton, Linn, Lincoln, and Clatsop counties. The family has over 55 years in forest management and timber marketing. There's no stated minimum acreage, but their land clearing work has ranged from a few trees around a home up to 70-acre tracts converted to farmland, so they're set up to handle anything in that range. They talk about wanting to "remove the middleman" on timber sales, aiming to save landowners time and money by handling the marketing themselves rather than just the cutting. This fits a landowner in the Tillamook area, or nearby counties, who wants one outfit to handle the cutting, the land clearing, and the longer-term management plan, not just a one-time harvest. From riegerlogging.com, read 4 October 2026.

Wyeast Timber Services LLC is a logging outfit out of Hood River, Oregon. They buy timber, log it, and also do forestry consulting, working across Oregon, Washington, and California. The business was founded in 2011. The work covers forest management, project planning, harvesting, stand assessment, road building, fuel reduction, reforestation, and wildland fire support. They also run a trucking division for hauling logs to the mill. On a sale, they'll look over your land and timber and then work out a deal, whether that's for standing timber or the timber deed itself. They say they "welcome challenging and technical logging sites along with standard operations," so steep ground or tricky access isn't automatically a dealbreaker. There's no stated minimum acreage. Their listed projects run from log sorting on a county timber sale down to fire cleanup and orchard logging jobs, so smaller or oddly shaped parcels appear to be something they've handled before. This fits a landowner in the Hood River area with a harvest that isn't straightforward, whether that's fire-damaged timber, steep slopes, or a property that needs planning help alongside the actual cutting.

A-1 Logging Inc is a logging contractor in Yamhill, Oregon. Larry Heesacker started the business back in 1985 with a chainsaw and a pick-up truck, and his family still runs it today. They handle complete logging jobs, thinning, clear-cutting, land clearing and leveling, road building, and reforestation after a harvest. They work in timber, logs, and pulp, and they say they have "close relationships with mills all over the region" to help find buyers for your logs, plus export contacts for straight logs and connections to pulp mills if your timber is lower grade. Larry holds a Master Woodland Management certification, earned in 2002. There's no stated minimum acreage, but one landowner they worked with describes a 5 acre lot that needed thinning and a home site cleared, so small jobs are something they've done. They also say they can clear-cut hundreds of acres, so the range runs wide. They're based in Yamhill and list Yamhill County as their service area, within the Pacific Northwest more broadly. This fits a Yamhill County landowner with a small lot needing thinning or a house site cleared, as much as one with a large stand ready for a full harvest. From a1logging.com, read 4 October 2026.

Elkhorn Forestry Inc is a forestry consulting and logging business based in Oregon City, Oregon. The person who founded it is a graduate of Oregon State who worked for timber management firms before starting his own outfit, bringing "decades of local experience" to private landowners managing forestland in the Pacific Northwest. The work covers the full run of a timber sale: timber cruising and appraisal, forest management planning, timber harvesting, log marketing, investment analysis, reforestation, tax preparation, cost share assistance, and wildlife habitat enhancement. Species mentioned are Douglas-fir, Western Red Cedar, and alder. On how a sale runs, Elkhorn Forestry explains that many foresters charge a small percentage fee to manage the whole harvest and then hire a logger by the thousand board feet or by the ton, rather than a flat percentage, which it says often leaves more money with the landowner. It also offers "a free evaluation of the timber on your property" before you commit to anything. Listed service area is Crook County. This fits a landowner who wants someone to walk through the whole process, from finding out what the timber is actually worth to marketing the logs and handling the paperwork after, rather than just taking the first offer that knocks on the door.

Trout Mountain Forestry is a consulting forester in Portland, Oregon. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. A consulting forester works for the landowner, not the buyer. A listing here is not an endorsement.

Hampton Lumber is a sawmill company based in Portland, Oregon, also listed as a timber buyer and forestry consultant. It began in 1942 with a single sawmill in Willamina, Oregon, and has grown into a family of sawmills across the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. The company works with Douglas fir, Western Hemlock, white wood, and spruce, and lists reforestation among its services. Harvest planning on its own lands typically starts two years ahead of cutting, bringing in wildlife biologists, geologists, and other professionals before any trees come down. Hampton Lumber serves Washington County, and its operations are named in Portland, Tillamook, Warrenton, Willamina, Darrington, Morton, Randle, Allendale, Burns Lake, and Fort St. James, with a broader reach across Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. It describes itself as a "family-owned company" built around "carbon-friendly wood products" and sustainable forestry, alongside timber procurement work. The company has been in business since 1942. This fits a landowner near Washington County weighing a long-running regional sawmill and forestry consulting operation, rather than a small local logger for a one-time sale.

Stimson Lumber Co Inc is a sawmill company based in Portland, Oregon. It runs its own mill and also buys timber and offers forestry consulting, so a landowner can work with one company for standing timber, log sales, or land sales. The mill turns out studs, dimension lumber, specialty grades, timbers, cedar, and hardboard, and it draws much of that wood from its own timberlands. For landowners, the services on offer are forest management and log and land sales. Work is handled through a list of Stimson forestry specialists, and the company also lists land for sale through Land.com. It owns and manages over 600,000 acres of forest land in the Western United States, and serves Washington County. Stimson says it produces "high-quality lumber and hardboard products from environmentally-certified forests," and points to its Sustainable Forestry Initiative commitment as part of that. It was founded in the 1850s, which it says makes it one of the oldest continuously operating integrated wood products companies in the country. This fits a landowner whose timber is more likely to be headed into a large, long-running industrial supply chain than a one-off local logging job, and who wants a single company that can also talk land sales and forest management alongside the timber itself.

Quicksilver Contracting Co is a forest contracting company based in Bend, Oregon, with a processing yard in La Pine. It's been in business since 1988. The company does logging, chipping, thinning, mowing, slash piling, hazardous fuels reduction, reforestation, and forest health restoration stewardship contracts. Work ranges from mechanical harvesting and hand crew labor to road maintenance, understory removal, and streambank restoration. Quicksilver takes on large, multi-year stewardship and restoration contracts, typically running 3 to 10 years, for both public and private land managers. These projects can mean mechanical felling, mastication, piling, and brush mowing, alongside hand crew work like thinning and planting. The company processes harvested timber into sawlogs, clean chips, chip logs, pole materials, and biomass, and also sells wood products like posts, poles, and deck railings. Its harvesting territory covers eastside forests in Northern California, Oregon, and Washington, with Deschutes County named as a county it serves. No stated minimum acreage appears, but the scale of work described points toward large tracts: stewardship contracts have covered "over 40,000 acres" to date. The company describes its approach as "low-impact approaches that make the most of all woody material and leave a more fire-resistant forest behind." This fits a landowner with a sizable, complex forest property needing multi-year restoration or fuels work done at scale, not someone with a small woodlot looking for a single timber sale.

High Mountain Resources is a logging company based in Cottage Grove, Oregon, run by Ken Groat. Ken grew up in the Cottage Grove area and started the business in 1984. It's a registered and fully insured Oregon logging company. The work covers logging, timber management, land clearing, road building, and fire prevention, and they'll help arrange timber cruising, reforestation, and slash disposal too. They handle the cutting, yarding, loading and trucking themselves, and say there is usually no up-front, out-of-pocket expense to the landowner. The harvest method, whether thinning, clear cutting, or going after certain species, gets shaped around what the landowner wants for their ground. On the selling side, they sort and sell logs to multiple buyers rather than just taking the first offer, saying "getting the most for your logs is more than just selling to the highest bidder." They serve Lane County, Douglas County, and the Northern Willamette Valley out to the coast and the Cascades, including Roseburg, Eugene, and Portland. Parcels can run from 5 acres to 500 acres or more, so this isn't a company that only wants the big tracts. This fits a landowner in Western Oregon with a smaller parcel who wants someone geared toward private landowners rather than large-scale industrial accounts, and who wants help with the whole process, not just the cutting.

Josephine County Forestry Department is a county government office in Grants Pass, Oregon. It runs the county's own forest land, not a private consulting practice for hire in the usual sense, so if you're a landowner in Josephine County this is the place to know for how the county itself handles its timber and land work. The department manages the county's 30,000 acres of forest land for "timber productions, minerals, watershed enhancement and protection, wildlife and recreation." The work that falls under that includes reforestation, wetland reclamation, mine site reclamation, and timber harvest. It covers Josephine County. No species are named, and there's no description of how a sale or job is actually run, so you'd want to call and ask directly what applies to a private parcel versus the county's own ground. The office is at 125 Ringuette St. in Grants Pass, and the director is Dave Streeter. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m., closed Friday and county holidays. This fits a landowner in Josephine County who wants to understand how the county handles reforestation, reclamation, and timber harvest on its own land, or who needs a county contact point on forestry matters rather than a private buyer or logger for their own acres.

Giustina Land & Timber Co is a timber buyer and forestry consultant in Eugene, Oregon, working in Lane County. It's a 4th generation, family-owned forest management company that runs its own forests rather than buying from other landowners' individual parcels. Their work covers the full cycle: reforestation starting at their own seed orchard, growing seedlings through local nurseries, planting, and commercial thinning as stands mature, sending thinned trees to local mills before eventual harvest and replanting. Their foresters "allocate different types of trees to different harvest units" to meet Oregon's reforestation rules. They are certified through the American Tree Farm System (ATFS) and participate in the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). No tree species or minimum acreage are named for outside landowners. Their named areas of operation are Oregon and Lane County. This looks like a fit for someone wanting to understand how a long-established Oregon timber operation manages land through its own cycle of planting, thinning, and harvest, rather than someone looking for a quick quote on a single small parcel.

Springboard Forestry is a consulting forestry firm based in Timber, Oregon. They work across Oregon and Southern Washington, handling forest management and stewardship planning from the early planning stages all the way through harvest. Their work covers forestland and conservation acquisitions, financial proforma development, forest and road inventory, wood products facility feasibility analysis, wood sourcing advisory, and mapping and GIS analysis. They describe their approach as working "to analyze possible options, plan operations, implement the project, and provide ongoing management and monitoring." Most of their clients are public, non-profit, or large conservation landowners, though they say they work with all types. They mention that if you're responsible for an ownership greater than 80 acres in Oregon or Southern Washington, or if their approach sounds appealing, to reach out. That's not a stated minimum for taking on work, just how they describe the ownership size of the clients they typically hear from. The firm has been developing and applying forest management practices for western forests over the past 15 years. The owner, Ben Hayes, is a professional forester with forestry training from Yale, and the team includes a spatial analyst along with contractors such as GIS professionals, financial analysts, tree planters, and logging contractors. This fits a landowner with a larger holding who wants planning, inventory, or feasibility work done with a long view, rather than someone just looking for a straightforward timber sale on a small tract.

Woodward Forestry LLC is a family-owned forestry consulting firm based in Silverton, Oregon, working since 2005. Chris Woodward runs it, offering timber appraisals, timber management plans, and timber harvest administration for landowners in the Willamette Valley and beyond. On a harvest, Woodward Forestry handles the pieces a first-time seller might not think of: timing the sale, picking a mill, choosing a logging contractor, writing contracts, and watching over payment and quality control, including compliance with the Private Forest Accord. For appraisals, the work starts with a timber cruise to measure what's standing, then turns that into a valuation for a sale, an estate, a tax basis, or a timber deed. Worth knowing: "Woodward Forestry timber appraisals do not include valuations of bare land or structures," though they'll bring in another appraiser if land value is needed too. On planning, they'll either build a full forest management plan from scratch or just "fill in any gaps that may exist," covering reforestation, water and wildlife protection, and state rules. They also note that funding may be available from state or federal agencies to help cover the cost of hiring a consultant for a plan. This fits a landowner in the Willamette Valley area who wants one person to walk a harvest or appraisal start to finish, especially someone selling timber for the first time and wanting help sorting mills, contractors, and paperwork rather than doing it alone.
