Woodlot clean-upLoggingTimber harvestingWoodland ExcavatingWildlife Management+1 more

Reiff Woodland Services is a logging business based in Millmont, Pennsylvania, working out of Mifflinburg and serving Union County. They are the third generation in the logging and sawmill business, with more than a decade of experience in the timber industry. They take on logging and timber harvesting in white oak, oak, maple, black walnut, and pine, along with woodlot clean-up, woodland excavating, wildlife management, food plot preparation and planting, invasive species control, and forest management. The way they describe it, "We assess the trees and vegetation on your property, listen to your goals, and develop a plan to improve your woodland." Their work has ranged from a 14-acre hunting property with oak, maple, and black walnut, up to a 60-acre job where they harvested 22 loads of logs and rebuilt the lane with fresh gravel. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job they mention on their site is a 5-acre property where they're logging mature pin oak, hauling off old junk and scrap, and planning a food plot and invasive species cleanup. They service most areas within an hour of Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania. Their process starts with a free estimate and a walk through your woods to hear what you want for the property before planning the work. This is a fit for a Union County landowner with a smaller wooded property, especially one who wants the logging tied into longer-term goals like food plots, invasive cleanup, or wildlife habitat rather than just a one-time harvest.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Union County?

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

How much is my timber worth in Union 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 Union 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 Union County?

No price series is published for Union 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.
