Parkersburg, NY

Rolling Ridge Woods is a log buyer and exporter based in Parkersburg, West Virginia. They buy American hardwood logs, mostly for the export market, and sell to buyers overseas as well as domestically. If you've got hardwood logs to sell, their pitch is that they handle the paperwork side of things, the regulations, permits, and compliance that come with shipping logs overseas, so you don't have to sort that out yourself. They say they want "truckload quantities," which gives you a sense of the scale they're set up for. They buy "a wide range of species and grades," and their logs go through USDA inspection, including certification to inspect for Spongy Moth and Emerald Ash Borer. They've been exporting logs since 2002, and say they have over 150 years of experience collectively on their team. Rolling Ridge Woods works with a parent company, Yoder Lumber, on sourcing fine hardwoods, and has an overseas office in Shanghai along with relationships with freight forwarders for moving logs internationally. This one looks built for landowners or producers with a real volume of hardwood logs to move, truckload amounts, not a few trees off a small lot, and who want someone comfortable with the export side of the business.

How much is my timber worth in Wood 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 Wood 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.
