About

Since 1997 Penn Select Timber Inc. has offered timber appraisals and logging services in hundreds of townships across the Pennsylvania and Ohio countryside. When I graduated from Penn State University I would have never dreamed that "work" could be so enjoyable. I found myself again and in a place I where I grew up and truly love. Being outdoors everyday in the woodlands, meeting new folks and helping them achieve their objectives is a pleasurable and rewarding experience and career. Timber harvesting can be an overwhelming project for many landowners and I'm glad I can help make the timber harvest process easier for them. The best part of my job is that I get to work with my friends which are all professionals in the business. They are my logging team of true employees not sub contractors. We work together to provide an accountable logging service that handles everything from your estimate to cleanup. You can rest easy knowing your forest services will be done the right way . Selling Direct to the mill eliminates the middlemen. I'd like to thank all the Landowners that had faith in us over the years providing us with a rewarding lifetime American occupation.

Consultaion

After walking your woodlot  I will arrange to meet you on site and discuss your goals and objectives. I then perform the estimate (timber cruise) to determine what exactly I would do if I were you... had you, my knowledge and experience in forestry. This is how I determine the selection of trees and type of harvest for you.  Consultation concludes with my timber appraisal of your selected trees for harvest. There is no monetary charge for this service . It's FREE. Why not find out what you have in your woodlot? 

Contract

Once we agree on price we will spell it all out on paper. All timber harvest contracts with us guarantee payment in full before any work gets started. If there is one piece of advise I could give anyone, it is this.....beware of the logger that promises big money in the end. I cannot tell you how many times a frustrated landowner has called me too late to save him from an over estimated percentage deal. Don't make the infamous mistake of essentially becoming a "partner" with your logger. This is how most nightmare stories of logging start. If you cannot attract a buyer who will pay in full before cutting then at least get references!

Harvesting

We bond the roads, obtain  all the permits, careful felling of the trees, cutting and skidding the logs, loading and trucking of logs to our mill, then finish with bulldoze grading of skid trails and log landing sites free from debris and rutting. There is no need for you to deal with Government agencies, County or Township officials, endangered species avoidance measures or managing multiple contractors. You see, we do it all from start to finish. You completely avoid unforeseen additional costs and headaches by being paid in full in advance of any cutting.

When Penn Select Timber opened up two lumber saw mills in Ohio we found even more markets that we could use for maximizing gains. We work to pay you higher prices for your standing timber.

Most timberland owners are suprised to find the wealth that was hidden in their woodlot. Depending on your own personal desires and objectives, harvesting timber can actually improve the health and growth rates of your remaining stand of timber setting up the woodlot for future returns for generations to come. After all, if you really think about it, trees are Americas only renewable resource!
