Do I Have Trees Worth Selling?

Not all trees have timber value, but many landowners are surprised to learn their property may contain marketable timber. Factors such as species, size, age, health, accessibility, and current market conditions all play a role in determining value.
Common indicators:

  • Mature hardwood trees
  • Larger wooded acreage
  • Healthy, established timber stands
  • Easy access for equipment
  • Valuable species such as oak, walnut, maple, or cherry

The best way to determine value is through a professional evaluation.

The timber is reviewed to determine species, quality, accessibility, and potential market value. 

Step 4: Review Your Options

Discuss recommendations and determine the best path forward based on your goals.
