Professional Timber HarvestingLoggingResidential Tree ServicesSugarbush ConsultingTree Trimming & Removal+1 more

Kingdom Timber Logging & Forestry LLC is a logging and forestry company in Wolcott, Vermont. Logging is its main trade. It harvests timber for commercial and private landowners, cutting, processing and moving the trees to a location for transport. It also buys standing timber year-round and does land clearing, site work and tree care. It works across Northern Vermont, including Lamoille County and the Morristown and Wolcott area. A job starts with consultation and planning to meet your goals for the property. Then the crew carries out the plan through the harvest. Logging work can also add hiking and skiing trails, food plots, wildlife habitat and woods roads for owner access. Estimates are free on all its services. The company offers sugarbush consulting too, including a forest inventory and line layouts for maple syrup production. It is fully insured and holds Game of Logging certification and Logger Education to Advance Professionalism certification. It uses sustainable harvesting practices and will remove any size or type of tree. The smallest job on its pages is 46 acres of steep, ledgy, overgrown timber that the landowner found hard to reach. That figure comes from one customer's account. It suits a landowner near Wolcott or Morristown with a wooded tract, especially steep or hard-to-reach ground, who wants one outfit to plan the cut, log it, and handle clearing or trails afterward.

Whole Tree & Selective HarvestingView EnhancementTimber EstimatesTruckingLand Clearing+1 more

Emerson And Sons Logging, LLC is a family-owned logging outfit based in Groton, Vermont. They cut timber, buy logs, and do land clearing work for landowners in Caledonia County and beyond, across central Vermont and New Hampshire. They handle whole tree and selective harvesting, view enhancement cuts, timber estimates, trucking, land clearing, firewood, and chipping. They work in red pine, spruce, fir, and hardwood, and they sell into a range of markets including softwood saw logs, hardwood logs, veneer logs, pallet lumber, pulp, and chips. They say their work covers "From small scale projects to large parcels of forest land," and one landowner who hired them described a job where "they did a complete harvest on ten acres of red pine plantation," followed by thinning and clearing work on the same property. That ten-acre harvest is the smallest job they show, so it's a reasonable guide to the size of work they'll take on. They've been in business more than 30 years and are Master Logger Certified, a third-party program for forest management and job site standards. This fits a landowner in central Vermont or New Hampshire with a modest wooded lot, maybe ten acres or more, who wants one crew to handle harvesting, hauling, and cleanup without juggling separate buyers and loggers.

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.

Middlebury, VT
rough sawn hemlock and pinecut beamslogthin sugar bushes

Mikey's Mill is a sawmill in Middlebury, Vermont, running since 1994. They saw rough sawn hemlock and pine, cut beams, and also log and buy timber, mostly in Addison County. Besides milling they're farmers too, selling feed and holstein cattle, keeping bees and running a sugar bush. Most of what they cut is hemlock, with white pine as well, and they'll saw oak, cedar, or basswood depending on what logs come in. They work from a good inventory of hemlock logs from 8 to 24 feet and can cut most dimensions, including beams up to 8x8x24 feet. Logging happens in the winter, done with a forwarder, a small skidder, and a dozer rather than dragging wood. They say they "seem to specialize in lots with houses on them" and also thin sugar bushes, noting "we sugar so we know what we're doing." They take on small commercial sales too, especially jobs heavy in firewood and pulp. No stated minimum acreage comes up, but their work with small commercial sales and sugar bush thinning suggests they'll look at modest, smaller lots rather than just big tracts. This fits a landowner in Addison County with a small woodlot, maybe one with a house on it or a sugar bush needing thinning, who wants someone local and willing to handle a smaller job.

Jericho, VT
Mobile Milling ServicesCustom SawmillingTractor Work & Tree RemovalLocal LumberAlaskan Sawmilling+1 more

NeighborWood Boys, LLC, based in Jericho, Vermont, runs a mobile sawmill. Instead of hauling your logs off the property, they bring the mill to you and cut your own trees into boards, beams, or slabs right where they stand. They work in pine, maple, cedar, hemlock, ash, cherry, walnut, and spruce, and say they'll mill "everything from pine trees to pear trees." Besides custom sawmilling they do tractor work and tree removal, log transportation, and an Alaskan chainsaw mill for bigger or oversized logs. They also offer kiln drying through a local partner, so green lumber can be properly dried afterward. The process is simple: you get in touch and get a quote, you stage your logs, they show up on milling day with the sawmill, and you're left with usable lumber plus the sawdust and offcuts for firewood or compost. They're built around using "wood from your own land," which fits someone clearing a few trees or working through a small lot rather than running a commercial harvest. They're based in Jericho and list Chittenden County as served, with work also reaching into New Hampshire and New York. This fits a landowner who has logs already down, or a handful of trees to take out, and wants them turned into their own lumber on-site rather than sold off as timber.

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.

Currier Farms Forest Products LLC, also known as Currier Forest Products, is a sawmill and timber buyer in Danville, Vermont. The family calls itself "Stewards of Vermont's Northern Forest for Six Generations," and they run their own sawmill in the Northeast Kingdom, controlling the wood from standing timber to finished board. They work in Birch, Cherry, Eastern Hemlock, Eastern White Pine, Maple, Red Spruce Tonewood, Spruce-Fir, Tamarack, and Eastern White Cedar, along with spalted wood. Their timbers run up to 60 feet long, 24 inches wide, and 24 inches thick, with S4S finishing available. Rather than keeping a fixed price list or shelf stock, they mill to a customer's specs: "custom milling based on your specs," whether that is book matched grain for a table top, live-edge planks, or a special profile for flooring, trim, or siding. If they don't have the raw material on hand, they say they can "sustainably harvest the wood for the products you need" and finish the job at their own mill. Their wood carries FSC certification. They serve Caledonia County and deliver throughout New England and New York, including New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont, with third-party trucking available to the rest of the continental US. This fits a landowner with standing timber whose trees match what Currier works in, especially anyone whose wood might end up as flooring, framing timbers, or a specialty piece like tonewood or a restoration project, rather than someone looking for a quick bulk harvest sale.

Swanton, VT
Rough cut lumber, cut to customer's specificationsPosts & RailsPicnic TablesFurniturePlay Sets

Cedar Sawmill of Vermont is a sawmill in Swanton, Vermont, owned and run by David Rollo as a family business. They buy cedar logs locally within Northern Vermont and work with local loggers and truckers to keep logs coming in. Their main focus is white cedar, though they'll saw other species if logs are available. They turn out rough cut lumber cut to a customer's specifications, posts and rails, picnic tables, furniture, and play sets, along with rough-cut and planed lumber, fence panels and components, log cabin logs, log furniture, and shavings and sawdust. They say "we specialize in White Cedar" and serve Franklin county. If you have cedar logs to sell rather than finished products to buy, this is a mill set up to purchase and process them rather than to walk your woods or mark timber for harvest. Orders require a 50% deposit, with the balance due when the order is picked up. This fits a landowner in Northern Vermont with cedar on their land who wants it sawn into lumber, posts, or built pieces like picnic tables and play sets, rather than someone looking for a logging crew or a timber harvest plan.

Hardwick, VT
roadside veneer scaling serviceslog scaling

Timber Resource Group is a timber-buying and logging business with a log yard in Hardwick, Vermont. They buy spruce and fir, along with hardwood species including hard and red maple, white ash, yellow and white birch, red oak, cherry, hemlock, red pine, and white pine. At their yards they scale and grade logs, and they also offer log scaling and "roadside veneer scaling services" for logs checked out on site. Suppliers get paid straight from the sawmills, since, as they put it, "there is no middleman or broker involved." Their buyers and licensed wood scalers can also come out to a logging job in the woods to help sort logs for the best return before they're sold. They serve Caledonia County out of their Hardwick yard, part of a wider network of yards and sawmills across Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. Staff carry credentials including Licensed Forester, Licensed Wood Scaler, Registered Maine Guide, and Class A CDL Operator, and the company has been running since 1990. This suits a landowner in Caledonia County with spruce, fir, or hardwood timber to sell who wants to deal with a buyer paying direct from the mill rather than through a broker.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers are there in Vermont?

14 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.
