American Forest Management, Inc. is a logging contractor in Florence, Wisconsin. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. A listing here is not an endorsement.
Florence Hardwoods, LLC is a sawmill in Florence, Wisconsin, and it also buys timber. The owners are loggers themselves, so the mill yard stays stocked, and every cant order is cut to the customer's own specs on species, grade, width, and length. The mill works in Hard Maple, white ash, and aspen, and it runs a "100% Zero Waste Facility," turning bark into heat for the kiln, overrun into chips for paper mills, and sawdust into bedding and other products. It draws wood from a 150 mile procurement radius around Florence, covering northeastern Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula, including US Forest Service land, state forestland in Michigan and Wisconsin, county and municipal holdings, and private industrial and non-industrial forest owners. A number of its suppliers are Michigan Master Logger Certified or Wisconsin Master Logger Certified, and a large share of the raw material comes from certified forestlands. Florence Hardwoods was restarted in 2011, when two large Upper Peninsula logging companies took over a vacant sawmill. It calls its approach "First-name Basis Procurement," saying it knows much of the region's landowners, foresters, and the loggers and truckers who haul wood to its yard. This one fits a landowner near the Wisconsin-Michigan border whose stand runs to Hard Maple, white ash, or aspen, and who wants a mill with its own logging roots rather than a broker standing between them and the yard.

How much is my timber worth in Florence 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.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Florence 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.
