The types of trees that timber buyers look for in Hocking County
As you’re probably aware Black Walnut and White Oak trees are always in demand, and Walnut veneer logs are very valuable indeed. Both of these species can be found throughout Hocking County.
These are also the kinds of logs that many timber buyers will under-bid for and dishonest loggers will try to trick you into harvesting before they are mature enough to bring you full value. It’s for this reason that you should hire an experienced consulting forester like us to identify them, and protect the value of your timber stand.
Honest timber buyers will buy all the types of mature hardwood trees you see in the list below. And they’ll pay you full value for them if you have us conduct the sale for you.

Don’t let unethical loggers and dishonest timber buyers cheat you
Dishonest timber buyers and unscrupulous loggers have several ways to abuse landowners including low-balling, high grading, over-harvesting, deceitful measurements, and crossing property lines to take timber that they didn’t pay for.
Yes, these things really do happen here in Hocking County too. We explain all of these dirty tricks (and more) on our Timber Talk blog.
No matter who they are, or how good you think their business reputation might be, you should never let a timber buyer onto your land without first talking to an independent forester like us.
