About Elkhorn Forestry Inc
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.

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.
