Roots Forestry Consulting LLC
About Roots Forestry Consulting LLC
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.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
