Timber Buyers & Forestry Professionals in Ashland, WI

North Country Lumber is a sawmill in Mellen, Wisconsin. Alongside milling, they buy timber and offer forestry consulting, working with landowners and loggers to manage forests and harvest timber. They serve Ashland County. The species they work with include red oak, maple, basswood, hard maple, soft maple, white oak, white ash, black ash, aspen, white birch, yellow birch and cherry. Their wood is drawn from the "slow growth glacial soils" of Northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and they ship logs for export as well as filling domestic orders. On the sales side they say their focus is on "meeting strict timelines" when filling customer orders to specification. This is a business built around the mill itself, so the forestry and timber-buying side runs through the same operation as the procurement and sales team, rather than being a separate consulting arm. If you have standing hardwood timber on your land in Ashland County or nearby in Northern Wisconsin, this is the kind of outfit that would be buying the logs as well as cutting and selling the lumber. That suits a landowner who wants one business handling the timber from standing tree through to finished product, rather than separate people for advice, logging, and the mill.
