Before you take the first offer

A consulting forester works for you — they measure what's standing, tell you what it's worth, and run a competitive sale, usually for a percentage of the price. That makes their interests line up with yours. 13 of the 13 foresters covering Bland County offer the full set — appraisal, cruise, and running the sale itself. How to decide whether you need one

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers and foresters serve Bland County?
22 businesses are listed for Bland County: 13 consulting foresters and 9 buyers, loggers and mills. 3 of them have offices in the county.
How much is my timber worth in Bland 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. Virginia Tech's Forest Landowner Education Program publishes quarterly Virginia timber stumpage prices, which tells you what the market is doing, not what your tract holds. 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 Bland 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.
Do I need a forestry consultant? →Do I need a permit to cut timber in Virginia?
Unlike some neighbouring states, Virginia does require you to notify the Department of Forestry before you start a commercial timber harvest — or within three working days after you begin — even on your own land. There is no approval to wait for, but failing to notify can bring a civil penalty. Water quality rules also apply, and following Best Management Practices is effectively required to stay protected under them.
