Potter Logging is listed in Allegany, New York, under the Allegany County maps category "Saw mill," and shows up in the independent loggers listing. It serves Cattaraugus County. Beyond that, there isn't a usable business description to draw from. The website on file belongs to Potter Lumber, a hardwood lumber operation and member of the Baillie Group, and that is a different company from Potter Logging. That page doesn't describe logging or timber-buying work, so nothing there can be used to tell you how Potter Logging runs a job, what species it handles, or what credentials it holds. If you're trying to reach Potter Logging directly, this entry mainly confirms where it's based and the one county it's noted as serving. A landowner wanting to know more about how they operate would need to ask them directly rather than rely on what's shown here. From potterlumberllc.com, read 11 October 2026.

Burton's Logging is in Cortland, New York, and works in Cortland County. The business goes back to 1975, when it started out building log homes. Ten years after that it moved into logging hardwood timber, and over the years it added a sawmill and later moved into selling used logging equipment. Today the business describes itself as offering "quality used equipment at a competitive price," alongside its logging work with hardwood timber. It says it is "happy to service customers near and far," though it doesn't spell out a set territory beyond Cortland County. There's no stated minimum acreage, and no sale or job process laid out, so a landowner would want to call and ask how Burton's Logging handles smaller or larger tracts. This one may suit a landowner who's comfortable talking shop with a business that has both logging roots and a background in the equipment side of the industry, and who doesn't mind asking the particulars directly rather than finding them spelled out ahead of time.

Hayes Logging, LLC is a logging contractor based in Hadley, New York. They take on logging and timber harvesting, land clearing, and firewood delivery, and the family has been doing this work for over 40 years, now in its fourth generation. Their work covers clear cutting and full tree removal, done to "promote healthy growth and harvest timber for your personal use." They serve Hadley, Glens Falls, Hudson Falls, Fort Edward, Corinith, Allentown, and Lake Luzerne, with Saratoga County named among the counties they work in. They say they'll handle "any plot, any size," and that they work with landowners "every step of the way to get the results you need while remaining ecologically friendly." A free consultation is how a job starts. There's no stated minimum acreage, and no species, credentials, or pricing given. What's clear is a long-running, local, family operation that handles the tree work itself along with land clearing and firewood, rather than offering a stumpage-sale or marketing service. This fits a landowner near Hadley or the Saratoga County area who wants a local, long-established crew to physically remove or thin trees, rather than one looking for a timber buyer or a sale brokered on their behalf.

Wightman Specialty Woods runs a sawmill in Portlandville, New York, and buys standing timber straight from landowners. They've been milling wood since 1945, so this isn't a side business for them. They work in two ways: you can deal with them directly, or they'll bid on your timber if you bring in an independent forester to represent you. If you go direct, one of their foresters comes out, looks at your trees, and gives you a free estimate of what your timber is worth. If the number works for you, they put it in a contract spelling out the price, what gets cut, and the timeframe, and you get a check when you sign. They say "upon signing of the timber purchase contract, we will give you a check for the agreed price," and they're carrying worker's comp and liability insurance on top of that. They buy within 60 miles of the Portlandville mill, which reaches into Otsego County, and they take hardwoods like black walnut, cherry, hard and soft maple, red and white oak, hickory, birch, basswood, white ash, and butternut, along with eastern hemlock and eastern white pine. They belong to the National Hardwood Lumber Association, the National Wood Flooring Association, the Northeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association, and the Empire State Forest Products Association. This fits a landowner near Portlandville who wants a mill that buys and cuts timber itself, with the paperwork and insurance spelled out up front, rather than a broker who hands the job off to someone else.

Rose Forestry LLC, also known as Rose Forestry & Sawmill, is based in Holland, New York, and works around the Western New York area, including Erie County. They handle timber consultation, wildlife management, portable sawmilling, lumber sales, and low impact logging, so a landowner can get advice, a logging job, and milled lumber from one outfit. They also keep an inventory of figured lumber for sale, including curly maple, ambrosia maple, and spalted maple. Rose Forestry & Sawmill calls itself "your source for quality, highly figured lumber for sale," which gives a sense of what they're known for beyond standing timber work. This fits a landowner in Western New York who wants someone who can walk the woods, log it with a lighter touch, and also turn logs into lumber rather than just buying timber and leaving.

Central New York Forest Products LLC, also doing business as CNY Forest Products, is a logging contractor working out of New York, serving Madison County. They do logging and land clearing, including selective cutting and timber stand improvement, clear cutting, chipping and grinding, and forestry mulching. They say they have "over 15 years of experience in all aspects of forestry, logging and land clearing." Their crew runs a mechanized operation with skidder and feller buncher for clear cutting, and a flexible fleet of equipment to match the job to what a landowner wants, whether that's money, wildlife, or recreation. No species or acreage minimums are named, so there's nothing to go on there. This fits a landowner who already knows roughly what they want done to the land, whether it's a timber harvest, clearing a site, or grinding down brush and woody debris, and wants one outfit in Madison County that can handle logging and land clearing both.

FORECON Inc is a forestry and land consulting firm based in Falconer, New York, serving Chautauqua County. It has operated since 1954. The firm takes on timber inventory, timber sales, certification systems and compliance, insect and disease management, herbicide application, timber security, and land management and planning. It also handles rural real estate brokerage work. Its own pages describe the work as delivered "at scale, and on time." FORECON works across New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, and extends its inventory, appraisal, GIS, and analytics services further across the eastern United States. FORECON states that it specializes in turn-key, long-term forest management for ownerships ranging from 3,000 acres up to 100,000 acres, serving institutional investors, high net worth individuals, family trusts, and resource companies. This fits a landowner or institution with a large, multi-county holding who wants one firm to handle inventory, sales, compliance, and appraisal together, rather than someone with a single small woodlot looking for a one-time timber sale.

Farmington Forest Management is a logging contractor and timber management company out of Palmyra, New York. They handle timber management, full service logging, tree harvesting, and timber harvest work, and their woodsmen are NYS Certified Loggers. They work with all the usual hardwood species: walnut, cherry, hard maple, red oak, white oak, black oak, birch, red maple, silver maple, tulip poplar, hickory, butternut, ash, beech, elm, sycamore, sassafras, and locust, among others. They say they're "ready to manage and harvest your high quality timber stands, six days a week, twelve months throughout the year, with safety as our top priority." Their crews carry NYS Workers Compensation and Disability Insurance, plus liability coverage, and they say they keep training through logger workshops each year. They cover the Finger Lakes region of Central-Western New York, with Ontario County among the counties they list, along with Monroe, Wayne, Seneca, Cayuga, Livingston, and Genesee, and a long list of townships inside them. There's no stated minimum acreage, and no sample jobs or acreages are given to go by either. This looks like a fit for a landowner in or near Ontario County who wants a logging contractor with certified crews and insurance in place, rather than a one-person operation, and who's comfortable reaching out directly since no pricing or sale process is spelled out ahead of time.

Leatherstocking Timber Products, Inc, in Oneonta, New York, works as a sawmill and logger, trading as Leatherstocking Hand-Split Billet Co. It has been harvesting, processing, and brokering logs since 1994, working with maple, birch, and ash. This isn't a general sawmill buying typical landowner timber for lumber. It specializes in hand-splitting and vacuum-kiln-drying logs into baseball bat billets, producing what it calls "the most consistently straight-grained, high-yield, and visually appealing bat blanks" for bat manufacturers. The wood is "meticulously sourced within a 300-mile radius of the Leatherstocking Region in New York State," and the company is found serving Delaware County. Beyond billets, the mill also makes axe handles and custom wood pieces, and it runs a Leatherstocking Wood Bat Mill Tour at its Oneonta site, walking visitors through the whole process from raw log to finished billet. This fits a landowner in Delaware County, or within reach of New York's Leatherstocking Region, who has mature maple, birch, or ash and is curious whether that timber could end up as bat billets rather than general lumber. From leatherstockinghandsplits.com, read 11 October 2026.
MJM Forest Products LLc is a father and son logging company working out of Ulster County, New York. They call themselves "a father and son commercial logging company that specializes in forest management and timber harvesting within the Catskill region and Hudson Valley of New York," and that's the ground they cover, including Ulster County itself. The work runs from commercial timber harvesting to storm cleanup, land clearing, utility tractor work, timber stand improvement, and cut and split firewood. They cut hardwood. On a harvest, they say, "We pay landowners competitive market prices for their standing timber," and they use the leftover tops for firewood rather than leaving them in the woods. Mike Arnold Jr. and Mike Arnold Sr. run it together, with over 60 years of combined experience between them in forestry operations and education. They're insured for liability and workers' comp, and the son is NYS logger training certified. Their approach, as they put it, is to use "experience and networking to maximize profits for landowners, while also minimizing damage to the residual stand to ensure a healthy crop of trees for the next generation," which is the kind of thing a landowner who plans to keep the woodlot in the family wants to hear. This fits a landowner in the Catskill or Hudson Valley area who wants one outfit to handle everything from the harvest itself to the storm damage and brush that comes with owning wooded land, rather than hiring out each piece separately. From mjmforestproducts.com, read 11 October 2026.
Custom Forest Products Inc runs its own sawmill in Staatsburg, New York, in Dutchess County. They process everything they sell right there, including the lumber that goes into their own buildings. If you're thinking about a sawmill rather than a logging job, this is the kind of place to call. They cut rough sawn pine and oak at their retail yard, in stock sizes or cut to what you need. Beyond lumber they build sheds, barns, garages and custom buildings, and they say their buildings go up on-site, which lets them "reach those hard to reach and not so-level locations on your property." They also sell firewood, bagged pine shavings, and pine bark mulch, with pickup or delivery on the mulch. Their own words sum up the sawmill side plainly: "We operate our own sawmill to process all products sold; including all lumber for buildings." There's no mention of buying standing timber or running a logging crew to harvest trees, so this isn't the outfit for a timber sale itself. It fits a landowner in Dutchess County who already has logs, or who wants lumber, a shed, a barn, or mulch and firewood, and wants it milled and built close to home. From customforestproductsinc.com, read 11 October 2026.
Joshua Tree Forestry Consulting, INC. works out of Elizaville, New York, doing forestry consulting and logging across the Hudson Valley, including Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess and Columbia Counties. They've been at this for over 20 years, working on tens of thousands of acres in that time. The work covers forest management plans, timber harvesting, wetlands delineation and permit consultation, tree identification, tree plans, and permit representation. If you're selling timber, the process starts with a visit to your property, sometimes more than one, to put together a proposal at no cost to you. From there they build a timber prospectus covering the amount, quality and type of trees to be harvested, handle the marking and layout, and send the prospectus out to "a select pool of quality forest product companies to see what the market will bear." They say "We design a financial arrangement where YOU ARE PAID for your timber." Josh Kowan, the forester behind the business, has been doing this for over twenty years and has also worked as a licensed real estate salesperson with Houlihan Lawrence. Joshua Tree, Inc. has been certified to delineate wetlands throughout the Hudson Valley since 2004, and they've handled wetlands and permit work alongside timber jobs for landowners in the area. This fits a Columbia County landowner who wants one firm to walk the whole process, from a no-cost first look at the property through to marketing the timber to buyers, especially if permits, wetlands, or a future sale of the land are also part of the picture. From joshuatreeforestry.com, read 11 October 2026.
Ulster County Sawing LLC runs a portable sawmill service out of Stone Ridge, New York. Owner C.J. Greene started the business in 2005 to give property owners "a portable sawmilling service they can rely on," after struggling himself to find a mill operator who would cut logs on time, call back when the job was done, and turn out "lumber that was consistent in width and thickness." That's still the core of the work: he brings the mill to your property instead of you hauling logs somewhere. Beyond milling, Ulster County Sawing also does tree cutting and small-scale, low impact logging. Greene is New York Logger Trained (NYLT), a state program covering safe felling, controlled tree drop, worksite management, and silviculture. The business serves Ulster County and has stayed small on purpose, which Greene says lets him give each property owner individual attention rather than treating jobs as interchangeable. This fits a landowner in Ulster County who wants a mill to come to them, who cares about getting back straight, evenly cut lumber, and who'd rather deal with the same person from first call to finished boards.

Patriot Forest Solutions LLC is based in Blossvale, New York, and works across Oneida County. The main trade is logging, but the same crew also handles land clearing, sawmill work, firewood, snow removal and excavation. On the mill side they work hemlock and white pine, sawn on a Wood-Mizer LT70. A job starts with a walk of the property: "We walk your property, talk through your goals, and lay out a harvest or clearing plan built around long-term forest health." Harvesting is cut-to-length, with a Ponsse H8 HD head felling and limbing near the stump and a forwarder carrying logs out to the landing rather than dragging them through the woods. The company describes the goal as "Sustainable wood harvesting that maximizes timber yield while protecting the long-term health of your forest," with selective cutting planned around regrowth. Harrison Turk started the business in 2018 as a firewood operation, then grew it into logging, clearing and excavation, rebranding as Patriot Forest Solutions in 2024. It's veteran owned, and Turk holds an arboriculture degree from Paul Smith's College along with time spent training at Bartlett Tree Experts. This fits a landowner in or near Oneida County who wants one outfit to cut the timber, clear ground if needed, and come away with firewood or rough-cut lumber from the same job, rather than hiring separate crews for each piece. From patriotforestsolutions.com, read 11 October 2026.
Ryan Charbonneau Logging LLC is a logging contractor out of Boonville, New York, working in Lewis County and other nearby counties. The work covers selective harvest logging, timber stand improvement, and log hauling. Selective harvest logging means picking out specific trees to remove while leaving the rest of the stand healthy. Timber stand improvement means thinning out weaker or undesirable trees so the ones left behind grow better. Beyond timber work, Ryan also takes on land clearing and bulldozer work, and offers "Log Load Firewood Delivery" for anyone who wants a load of firewood brought in. The service area is Boonville and "all of Central New York including neighboring counties: Lewis, Jefferson, Oswego, St. Lawrence, Hamilton, Herkimer and more." If you've got "a lot cleared or lot logged," the way in is a phone call to Ryan. This fits a landowner in Lewis County or nearby who wants one person to call for both clearing and selective logging, rather than separate outfits for each job. From charbonneaulogging.com, read 11 October 2026.
Northwoods Forestry is a consulting forestry business out of Carthage, New York. They've been at it since 1987. Their work covers timber sales and supervision, along with forest management plans, boundary line maintenance, food plots and timber theft investigations. For a timber sale, they mark what's ready for thinning or sale, walk you through bidding including sealed bids, and stay on through logging supervision, checking that the crew building roads and cutting has proper insurance so you're not left exposed if someone gets hurt. They say their "primary goal is to ensure the landowner isn't cheated by loggers," and that they'll "be by your side to make sure every part of the transaction is transparent and fair." They also handle 480a management plans for the New York tax abatement program, boundary posting, 2-3 acre wildlife food plots, and timber theft investigations if you think you've been robbed. They'll take on 5 acres, by their own word, right up through 500. Their service area runs across Lewis, St. Lawrence, Oneida, Jefferson and Oswego counties, including Watertown, Fort Drum, Old Forge and Lowville. They describe themselves as veteran owned and operated. This fits a landowner in Northern New York, especially one with a smaller parcel, who wants someone standing between them and the logger through the whole sale, not just a one-time appraisal.

D.C. Logging is run by Dave Cotter out of Cohocton, New York, in Livingston County. He logged professionally for over 20 years before the business shifted to part-time, and it serves Madison County. These days the work centers on firewood, sold year-round, with walnut-free sawdust also available when weather allows. Timber harvesting is still listed among the services, and Dave can be reached directly to talk through a job. He started the business in 2011 in Springwater, New York, before moving it to Cohocton. D.C. Logging is fully insured. It's a small operation. Dave and his son Dolan handle firewood orders evenings and weekends around their other work, and "care and pride go into every order." This fits a landowner whose main interest is firewood or who wants to start a conversation about a timber job with someone local to the area, rather than one looking for a large crew or a big harvesting operation.

Restored Enterprises LLC is listed in Nassau County, New York, under logging contractors, but its own website tells a different story. The business based in Valley Stream describes itself as "a construction and carpentry company" working on residential and commercial properties, not a timber or logging operation. What they actually offer is log home restoration work: chinking and caulking, log repair, media-blasting to strip old paint and rust, wash and stain for decks and outdoor wood, land clearing to prep a property for construction, and general damage restoration from water, fire, or storm. None of this is timber sale, logging, or forest management work. If you have standing timber you want cut or sold, this is not the outfit for that job. If you own a log cabin or log home that needs repair, cleaning, staining, or sealing, or you need land cleared ahead of a building project, Restored Enterprises may be worth a call. Just know going in that you are hiring a carpentry and restoration crew, not a timber buyer or logger. From restoredenterprise.com, read 11 October 2026.
Integrated Logging Systems is based at 419 Lick St in Groton, New York, and is listed for Tompkins County. What it offers is a software system built around a few parts: a "Ticket Module" for tracking loads, a "Map Module" for marking out areas, and an Expenses Module. The modules pair with hardware like tablets and printers, and each one runs on a subscription, with discounts kicking in once you order more than five units. This is not a crew that comes out to cruise your woods or a buyer who makes an offer on standing timber. It is a system meant to sit alongside a logging job once one is already underway, giving whoever runs it a way to log tickets, mark the map, and keep expenses straight as the work moves along. If you are a landowner with trees on 5 to 50 acres trying to figure out who will buy your timber, walk your land, or tell you what it is worth, this is a different kind of business than that. It fits someone who has already hired a logger or forester and wants a tool for that crew to track tickets and costs, not someone still looking for the person to do the cutting or the buying in the first place.

Hector Logging is a family-owned logging crew based in Hector, New York, working in the Finger Lakes region. They've been logging in the Finger Lakes since 1983. They take on selective hardwood harvesting, low-impact logging, and woodlot management, with particular markets for Black Walnut and White Oak. The crew walks your land first and identifies which trees to take, then gives you an estimate of timber value with a minimum guarantee. They work on a percentage split of the timber value, selling logs on site, and you get log tallies and a sale breakdown when it's done. They also clear and grade woods roads as part of the job. Their stated approach is to "cut trees to grow trees," balancing a harvest now against the woodlot's health later. Their base is in Hector, and they describe their work radius as flexible for the right jobs, serving Schuyler County. They look for properties with a minimum of 10 acres of standing timber. This suits a landowner in Schuyler County with a hardwood lot of at least 10 acres, especially one with walnut or oak, who wants a crew that plans for what the woods look like afterward, not just what comes out of them now.

Bogan Forestry and Wildlife Management LLC is a forestry service based in New York, working out of Tompkins County. For landowners with wooded ground, they handle timber cruising and forest inventory, timber valuation, and logger bid coordination, plus forest health work like invasive species control and hemlock woolly adelgid treatment. A typical job starts with a free site visit to look over the woods and see what timber is there. From that, they identify marketable timber and set up bidding among loggers, aiming to get a fair return on the sale. Afterward they can come back for hack and squirt herbicide work, targeted invasive species control, and selective vegetation management to keep the forest healthy for the long run. They work in Tompkins, Cortland, Onondaga, Tioga, Cayuga, and Chemung counties in central New York. They carry New York State Certified Commercial Applicator and New York State Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator credentials and say they are fully insured. They point out that "many woodland owners are surprised to learn their property may contain thousands of dollars in standing timber value," which is part of why they offer the cruising and bid coordination step before any cutting starts, so the landowner knows what the wood is worth going in. This fits a landowner in central New York who wants someone to walk the woods, put a number on the standing timber, and line up competitive bids from loggers, rather than call one logger and take the first offer.

Questions landowners ask
How many independent loggers are there in New York?
117 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the New York forestry register, covering 46 counties between them.
How do I choose between them?
Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
