Forestry Consultants

Northwest Logging Company, LLC is a logging and timber buying business based in Tacoma, Washington, working in Pierce County. They handle traditional logging (full removal, or "clear-cutting"), commercial thinning, salvage logging after fire or storm damage, view clearing, land acquisition, and timber purchases where they buy the standing timber deed while you keep the land. They also do valuation, appraisal, and timber cruises, plus permitting, harvest layout, timber harvest management, and reforestation. Their process starts with a valuation expert coming out to inspect your timber and give you a bid. Once you agree on price, they handle permitting and planning, which can include road building, then their fallers and machinery harvest and prepare logs for the mills. Afterward they can help with debris cleanup, stump removal, land clearing, and replanting. For timber purchase deals, they say payment comes "prior to the commencement of harvest operations." They describe themselves as "a family owned and operated company" with over 35 years in the logging industry, and they work across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. There's no stated minimum acreage for timber sales. The smallest property they currently show for sale is a 2.0 acre woodland parcel in Woodland, though that's a property listing rather than a stated policy on job size. This fits a landowner who wants one company to handle the whole process, from timber valuation through harvest and cleanup, and who is comparing options across the Western states rather than just locally.

Silver City Timber Co is a logging and forestry consulting business out of Deer Park, Washington, working in Spokane County. They take on timber harvest jobs along with land clearing and site work, and their foresters handle the consulting side too. A job starts with a Pre-Harvest meeting with a forester to go over your short and long term goals. From there they put together a management plan built around those goals, point you toward any state forestry programs that might fit, and take care of all the timber harvest permitting. Property lines and Riparian Zones get identified and flagged before anything is cut. Their crews work to keep the impact on the ground and the remaining stand to a minimum, and they manufacture logs by size and species to get the best return. Beyond harvest work, they also do forest fire fuels reduction, slash disposal, thinning, and road clearing and construction, using everything from helicopter and line machines to small and large acreage crews. As they put it, "no matter the size of the job, we can handle it." There's no stated minimum acreage, but nothing in their own services points to a small-tract cutoff either, so this looks like a business set up to handle a range of acreage sizes without turning smaller landowners away outright. This fits a landowner in or near Spokane County who wants a forester involved from the first meeting through permitting, not just a crew that shows up to cut.

Janicki Logging & Construction is a logging and forest management business based in Sedro-Woolley, Washington. It also does forestry consulting and land clearing or site work. The company traces back sixty years, when Stan Janicki Jr., a Skagit Valley native logger, started it as a local logging outfit. The work covers timber harvesting, forest management, habitat restoration, stream bank restoration, thinning, bridge construction, road construction, and excavating. Douglas-fir is the species named. On a job, a timber cruiser comes out to your land first, learns your goals, and then recommends what makes the best value for you before any cutting starts. Janicki Logging & Construction serves Skagit, Whatcom, Snohomish, King, Island, and San Juan counties. The minimum acreage for work is 10 acres, in the company's own words: "Whether it's 10-acres, 100-acres, or 1000-acres of forestland, tree farms are more than businesses." This fits a landowner with a modest woodlot who wants more than a straight timber sale, someone looking for thinning, stream work, or habitat restoration alongside the logging itself.

Guy Bennett Lumber Co, known as Bennett Lumber, is a sawmill in Clarkston, Washington. They buy saw logs and timberland and will make a cash offer on a timber parcel. Alongside their main work of milling lumber, they also offer management assistance to landowners on request. They've operated since 1939. They own and manage about 70,000 acres of forest land across northern Idaho and Eastern Washington, and serve landowners in Whitman County. Professional foresters work out of their Clarkston office, and you can reach them to ask about current log prices or request a cash offer on a parcel. Their offer includes "competitive log prices and an honest scale." They hold certification under the 2022 SFI Standard for Fiber Sourcing and Forest Management, a standard covering fiber sourcing and forest practices across North America. This fits a landowner in Whitman County with saw timber to sell, who wants a straightforward price from a mill that has been buying logs in this corner of the Northwest since 1939.

NWTL Inc. is a full service logging contractor, based in Sandy with a listing in Clark County, Washington. It handles timber management, timber harvesting, timber brokering, land clearing and forestry consulting, plus residential tree work in east Clackamas County. On the harvest side it offers custom hand felling, mechanical logging, tractor logging, shovel logging and cable logging, along with pre-commercial thinning, multi-stage thinnings, clear cutting and reforestation. Thinning and clear cutting are done "on percentage basis or by the MBF." For timber sales, it works with mills and buyers across the domestic, export and pulp markets, plus smaller outlets like custom mills, log home builders and firewood suppliers, aiming to find a buyer for most of what comes off the land. It says it offers "all phases of logging from small stands of timber to large tracts," and offers free timber evaluations and estimations before a job starts. For land clearing, it works by the acre, by the hour or by the project, handling stump digging, burning and tub grinding where burning isn't allowed, along with hydro ax mowing. The company holds a CCB license and states it is licensed, bonded and insured. This fits a landowner who wants one contractor to cut the timber, find the buyer and clear what's left, rather than hiring each piece separately. From nwtlinc.com, read 4 October 2026.

Lee Levanen Logging LLC is a logging and forest management business based in Battle Ground, Washington, serving landowners in Klickitat County. The business has worked in logging and forest management for over 45 years, and besides logging it also offers forestry consulting. They take on felling, thinning, and full harvests, including commercial thinning and select harvest and thinning jobs aimed at forest health. One job they describe is work on a 35-year-old timber stand, where a commercial thinning operation done 8 years earlier removed less desirable trees to improve the health, growth, and stability of the remaining timber, setting the stand up for a more valuable harvest down the road. They also talk about "searching out and capitalizing on specialty log markets," including large dimension timbers for timber framing and log homes. On selling logs, their approach is to focus on quality, specifications, market conditions, and relationships with multiple log buyers, with the goal of getting the highest value for the wood. They describe safety as central to how they run a job, saying "Safety is Our Top Priority," and they talk about sustainable practices meant to limit long-term impact on the land, including weighing a single harvest against repeated selective entries to cut down on soil disturbance over time. This suits a landowner in Klickitat County who wants a logger with decades in the business behind them, who is open to a conversation about thinning versus a full harvest, and who has an eye on specialty markets for large, sound timber as well as standard sawlogs.

Eastside Forestry LLC is a forestry consulting business based in Cle Elum, Washington, run by Patrick Broderick. He supports small landowners with forest health assessments, Forest Stewardship Plans, forest health thinning, and fuels reduction (firewising). The business also handles salvage logging, planting and natural regeneration planning, GIS mapping, timber cruising and logging system design, and forest practice application work. For a timber sale, they manage the job for you and work with local loggers they already know, including "low-impact logging, utilizing operators with lightweight, tracked machinery to ensure your land stays beautiful & in tact." Their thinning work is described as "thinning from below," aimed at forest health rather than maximizing cut volume. They mainly serve Kittitas, Chelan, Yakima, and King counties, with work across Washington more broadly. Patrick is a Candidate Full Member with the Association of Consulting Foresters and an active member of the Washington Farm Forestry Association's Kittitas Chapter. He previously worked as lead forester for the Teanaway Community Forest at the DNR before forming Eastside Forestry in 2023. No stated minimum acreage appears, but the Forest Stewardship Plan work is described as available to owners of 5 or more acres, under the Designated Forest Land tax program. This fits a landowner in or near Kittitas, Chelan, Yakima, or King counties who wants someone thinking about long-term forest health, not just a quick cut, and who likes the idea of lighter equipment on the ground.

Forest Management Solutions, LLC is based in Centralia, Washington. They handle timberland management and forestry consulting for landowners, covering everything from timber cruising and valuation to logging subcontracting, log marketing, harvest permitting, engineering, and silviculture work like planting, thinning, and spraying. Their core services break down into a few areas: timberland management (management plans, contractor selection and negotiation, generational ownership transitions, acquisition and sale advising), timber harvesting (harvest planning and layout for thinnings and regeneration, log sales and marketing, road construction), timber cruising and valuation (land acquisitions, timber sales, estate valuations, cost basis estimates), GIS/GPS mapping, and reforestation (site prep, seedling procurement, stand monitoring, vegetation and animal damage control). On the harvesting side they say they have a "strong network of log buyers and logging contractors" to work the sale when the time comes. They also help attorneys, CPAs, and real estate professionals who need to understand timber values and succession planning. They work throughout western Washington and northwest Oregon, with current operations centered in Lewis County. They have been in business since 2014. Their minimum acreage is 5 acres, stated plainly in their own words: "Whether you own 5 acres or 5000, we take pride in providing current, professional forestry services." This outfit suits a landowner who wants one business to carry a timber sale from first cruise through harvest to reforestation, rather than juggling separate contractors for each step, and who may also be dealing with an estate or ownership transition alongside the timber itself.

Green Diamond Resource Co is a forest stewardship company that owns and manages working forests, buying and growing timber as well as logging and advising on forest management. Its main office is at 6400 Highway 66 in Klamath Falls, and it is listed in Mason County, Washington, where it serves as a timber buyer, independent logger, and forestry consultant. This is a family-owned company that has been "for six generations" managing forests across California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina. The species they work with include Douglas fir, larch, true firs, western red cedar, lodgepole and ponderosa pine, Loblolly pines, and giant redwood forests. Their work covers the full cycle: site preparation, seed collection, nursery operations and planting, pre-commercial and commercial thinning, chipping, grinding, hauling, and harvest and hauling. They describe their process as a "continuous cycle of harvesting and replanting," noting that growth cycles vary by species, with Loblolly pines maturing in up to 28 years and Douglas firs taking up to 50. All of their lands carry certification under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and they describe their approach as "responsible forest management guided by experience and backed by science," with attention to fire resilience and long-term forest health. There is no stated minimum acreage for timber sales or logging jobs. This fits a landowner whose land sits within a large managed timberland region and who wants a company built around long-term, large-scale forest ownership and stewardship rather than a one-time, small-parcel harvest.

Kaniksu Timber Management is a forestry consulting and logging outfit based in Deer Park, Washington. They've served North Idaho and Eastern Washington since 2021, and in the directory they're listed serving Spokane County, with Pend Oreille County showing up too. They say it straight: "We are a full service forestry consulting and contracting firm. We can help with just about anything involving trees, land management or road building." That covers a lot of ground. Forest management planning, selective logging, fire fuel reduction, timber valuation and cruising, hazard tree work, pile burning, road building and maintenance, habitat improvement, reforestation and tree planting, and custom GIS mapping. If you're selling timber, they walk you through the whole thing, permits, contracts, logging, pile burning, and getting the ground replanted after. They say they lean on "an extensive network of logging contractors and log buyers" so a sale can be sized to fit the job and the returns maximized. For hazard trees they keep an arborist on retainer for select removals, and their own faller handles production cutting. They also say they're insured, which matters if trucks and equipment are coming onto your land. No tree species or job sizes are spelled out on their pages, so if you've got a specific species mix or a very small lot, it's worth asking first. This one fits a landowner in Eastern Washington or North Idaho who wants one outfit to run the whole project, from first cruise to the mapping and paperwork, rather than hiring a logger and a forester separately.

Roots Forestry Consulting LLC is a forestry consulting business based in Arlington, Washington. They guide landowners through the whole process of managing timber, from planning through harvest, and also buy timber. Their work covers timber cruising, timber appraisal, forest inventory, timber harvest design and permitting, reforestation, pre-commercial thinning, timber management plans, forest stewardship plans, road maintenance, firewood sales, wetland delineation, stream buffering, and unstable slope identification. The species they work with are Douglas-fir, western hemlock, red alder, and bigleaf maple. They start the logging layout process in-office using GIS-based remote sensing to develop a harvest unit and get it properly permitted, then work with loggers through the job to completion. They say they "assess the value of your timber to assure that you receive fair compensation" and that they will help you "navigate complex Forest Practice laws." They serve Snohomish County, and also name Whatcom, Island, San Juan, Skagit, and King counties as part of their area. There's no stated minimum acreage, but they say "whether you have five acres or five hundred acres," so they're set up to work with small parcels too. This fits a landowner anywhere from a small lot to a large tract who wants one firm to handle the paperwork, the permitting, and the sale itself, rather than piecing it together on their own.
