Mark A. Kane Inc., Consulting Forester works out of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, and handles timber sales for private landowners. As Mark puts it, "our primary service is the administration of Timber Sales for private property owners." They cover the whole job from start to finish: give you management recommendations, appraise your standing timber, use GPS and GIS to map out your property and sale boundaries, then go through your woods to select, measure, mark, and tally the trees to be cut. They calculate the volume, write up the sale contract, send advertisements to buyers, run the bidding, and stay involved during the harvest itself, including inspections while logging is underway and making sure you're paid before any wood comes off the ground. They also write up erosion and sediment control plans when needed, and handle wildlife habitat work alongside a sale if you want it. Species they've worked with include oak, poplar, and Maples. They mainly work in Huntingdon, Centre, Mifflin, Blair, and Bedford counties in Central Pennsylvania. Mark earned a B.S. in Forest Science from The Pennsylvania State University, and the business has "50 years of local Forestry Experience in Central PA," with 35 of those years spent administering timber sales, on over 200 client properties. They'll do a free initial appraisal before you commit to anything. This fits a landowner in that part of Central Pennsylvania who wants someone who has been doing this a long time and will walk every piece of the sale with you, from marking trees to making sure the buyer pays up before cutting.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Huntingdon County?

6 businesses are listed for Huntingdon County: 1 consulting forester and 5 buyers, loggers and mills. 4 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Huntingdon County?

Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Huntingdon County?

You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.

What is timber worth in Huntingdon County?

No price series is published for Huntingdon County on its own. Pennsylvania's latest published stumpage figures (Penn State Extension, Q1 2026) put black cherry at $255–$848 per thousand board feet. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.
