Don’t let timber buyers or loggers rip you off

Dishonest timber buyers and unscrupulous loggers have many ways to trick landowners including low-balling, high grading, over-harvesting, deceitful measurements, and crossing property lines to take timber that they didn’t pay you for. 

These things still happen in Marion County and all around Ohio too.  Take a look at this case study about the permanent damage that an Amish sawmill’s loggers did to a family’s timber stand in Martin’s Ferry. 

No matter who they are, or how good you think their business reputation might be, you should never let a logger or timber buyer onto your land without first talking to an independent forester like us. 

We keep timber buyers honest

We have many years of experience in forestry, land management and in timber stand improvement work to back up our words. We’ve also worked as loggers for years before that.  This is how we know the things we’re warning you about, and how we developed ways to protect you from dishonest loggers.
