Hartland, VT
timber harvestingtree plantingtrailsclearinginvasive plant control+1 more

Long View Forest is in Hartland, Vermont, offering a full set of services to landowners who want to look after their woods. The company works in timber harvesting, tree planting, trails, clearing, and invasive plant control, along with forest management plan preparation, forest inventory and mapping, project planning, and property boundary maintenance. They work with red oak and white pine among other species. For logging, Long View Forest uses a system called "cut-to-length," where trees are cut to log lengths of 8 to 20 feet right in the woods before going out to sawmills or other buyers. They run their own fleet of equipment, felling, limbing, and processing trees, then bringing logs out with forwarders. Where ground is harder to reach, they'll hand-cut and use a skidder instead. They also do timber stand improvement, precommercial thinning, and pruning work for landowners not yet ready for a full harvest. Long View Forest serves Windsor County and works across the greater Connecticut River Valley, including Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Their foresters hold licenses in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, and they also have NRCS Technical Service Provider status. Founded in 1999, the company has grown from a three-person logging crew into a staff of 40 working across multiple divisions, and is now employee-owned. They manage 35,000 acres of private forestland. This fits a landowner who wants one company that can handle planning, logging, and follow-up woodland work together, rather than hiring separate people for each piece.

Timber HarvestingBoundary Line MaintenanceForest Management PlansAnnual Forest Security InspectionsWildlife Habitat Improvement+1 more

Stillwater Forestry LLC is a forest management company working across New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. They are not a logging company themselves; they say "we are a fully licensed Vermont, Maine & New Hampshire Forest Management Services company," working for the landowner's interest rather than a logger's. They take on timber harvesting, boundary line maintenance, forest management plans, annual forest security inspections, wildlife habitat improvement, land acquisition, pasture clearing, and timber appraisals. They also buy standing timber outright. Species they mention working with include white pine, red oak, other hardwood, spruce, and pulpwood. Their harvest process: they meet with you to discuss goals and access, you sign a contract for services with no money up front, they mark and plan the harvest and handle permits, give you an estimate before cutting starts, then line up a logging company and run the harvest start to finish. They state 10 acres as their minimum, noting "whether it's 10 acres or 1000 acres or more, for parcels that fit our criteria, we provide competitive pricing and fast turnaround." They state 25+ years of experience and describe themselves as licensed in Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire. This fits a landowner in Addison County or elsewhere in Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine who wants one outfit to handle the whole sale, from appraisal through finding a logger to closing it out, rather than negotiating with a logger directly.

North Bennington, VT
timber and log marketing servicewood road building and layoutforest valuationboundary locationfield reclamation+1 more

Hollow Hill Forestry is a family-run timber marketing firm based in North Bennington, Vermont, with a log yard across the line in Jackson, NY. They can purchase your standing timber outright, but their own words put it plainly: "We can purchase standing timber from private landowners but most generally provide brokerage services for timber or logs." That means they combine your logs or timber with other owners' wood to market it for its best use. They handle the usual northeastern hardwoods: hard maple, birch, red oak, white ash, black cherry, soft maple, white oak, aspen, beech, hickory, and basswood, plus softwood like white pine, hemlock, red pine, and spruce. They say their log yard sits in an area "noted for having the best quality maple in the world," and maple is their biggest seller. For a harvest, they arrange insured contractors, mark and appraise the timber, lay out skid trails, and supervise the job. On a timber sale, they run a lump sum bid process, or buy your standing timber outright on a lump sum basis. Logs brought to their yard are bar-code tagged as scaled and graded, and paid for as removed, generally weekly. Beyond timber, they also do boundary marking, forest valuation, wood road and trail building, land clearing, meadow restoration, and wildlife management work like food plots and patch clear cuts. They note they have managed some very small properties, so a modest woodlot isn't out of reach. They serve Bennington County and describe their timber marketing as covering the Northeast. The company was founded in 2003 and is run by the Sargent family, with William Sargent as president. This fits a landowner who wants one outfit to handle both the timber sale and smaller land or wildlife projects on the same visit. From hollowhillforestry.com, read 8 October 2026.

Westfield, VT
Custom SawingForestry ConsultingSelective Logging

Young's Custom Sawing is a sawmill in Westfield, Vermont, run by Will Young. He works "From log to lumber, at your homestead" in Northern Vermont, bringing the mill to your place rather than having you haul logs elsewhere. The work covers custom sawing, forestry consulting, and selective logging. Will can help you figure out if a tree is worth milling, which trees to fell for a project, or how to improve your woodlot while getting lumber out of it. For logging, he'll use your own equipment, like a tractor or winch, and can work alongside you or on his own. Spruce is named as a species he works with, though it's also noted that spruce "will add cost" to a job compared to other wood. He describes himself as having "many years experience finding, felling, choosing, and using trees for lumber and woodlot maintenance." Pricing is set out plainly: labor by the hour from departure at Westfield to departure from your site, sawmill use by the board foot using Vermont Log Scale, mileage for bringing the mill out, and separate charges for blade sharpening and replacement. He's upfront that the final cost per board foot depends on distance, how organized your logs are, site conditions, and wood type. This suits a landowner in Orleans County who wants the sawing, the advice, and the felling handled by one person who comes to the property, and who wants to see the cost breakdown before the truck ever shows up.

North Springfield, VT
Forestry & Forest ManagementLoggingSelective cuttingGreen FirewoodKiln Dried Firewood+1 more

American Dirt and Wood LLC is a family owned logging and forestry business in North Springfield, Vermont. They trace their roots to 1989, when the business started under the name J&S Forest Management Services with a borrowed wood splitter, a pickup truck, and a chain saw. Today Steve Kraft, a licensed VT forester, runs the forestry side, and Ben Kraft handles equipment and operations. Their work starts with a forest management plan, including plans built for Vermont's current use program, and moves into logging from there. They describe themselves as "specializing in selective cutting" to take out the mature and crooked trees and make room for the good ones to grow. What doesn't go to a regular sawmill gets used too: they cut and split green and kiln dried firewood and saw rough lumber from logs a larger mill wouldn't take. They also do excavation and dirt work, from driveways to drainage to site work, which grew out of the equipment they already had for wood operations. They serve Windsor County and the greater Springfield, VT area. On a job, they say they "work closely with landowners to make sure their land is harvested to their satisfaction and the satisfaction of the current use program," and they offer a free estimate for lumber work. No acreage range is spelled out on their pages. This fits a Windsor County landowner who wants one outfit to handle the whole job, from the forestry paperwork through the cutting to hauling off firewood and lumber, rather than hiring separate people for each piece.

Questions landowners ask

How many forestry consultants are there in Vermont?

17 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Vermont forestry register, covering 9 counties between them.

How do I choose between them?

Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
