Timber Buyers & Forestry Professionals in Weston, WV

True North Forestry LLC is a forestry consulting business in Weston, West Virginia, also listed under timber buyers. It works out of 92 Sunset Drive and serves Lewis County. When you hire them to sell your timber, they walk your woods to look at the stands, sit down with you to talk through your goals, and decide whether to sell by negotiating with a specific market or by sealed bid. They run a timber cruise to get volumes by species, then put together a prospectus covering payment schedule, sale date, reclamation requirements, and a topographic map of the location. From there they draw up a Timber Sale Agreement covering insurance, payment terms, reclamation, and a "Performance Bond" that has to be in place before any cutting starts and is held until the contract terms are met. They also run the closing where buyer and seller sign and payment is made, and they stay on through the harvest, starting with a pre-harvest meeting and continuing through reclamation. Beyond timber sales, they handle boundary line maintenance, management plans (including help with the WVDOF Managed Timberland and stewardship programs, and the USDA/NRCS CAP 106 program as a TSP provider), timber inventory and appraisals using GPS data collection, and timber trespass and encroachment work, where they determine how much timber was cut and its value, though they note they are not surveyors. On payment, they say plainly: "we are paid based on the amount your timber sells for." That lines their interest up with getting a fair price for your wood. This fits a landowner in Lewis County who wants someone to handle the whole timber sale process from first walk-through to the final reclamation check, not just a name to call for a quote.
