Our Logging & Timber Harvest Service
Logging and timber harvest is technical work — and it's regulated work. Done right, it generates real income for landowners while keeping the forest healthy and the land compliant with state forestry rules. Done wrong, it leads to fines, environmental damage, and lost value. North Woods provides selective logging for landowners who want to harvest mature timber while preserving the forest; commercial timber harvest for tree farms and timberland operations; steep terrain logging that other crews turn down — Clackamas County's foothills, river canyons, and rural acreage; Oregon Forest Practices Act compliance, including Notification of Operation filings with ODF and the required permit to use fire or power-driven machinery; and free timber assessments so landowners know what their standing timber is actually worth before any decisions are made. 35+ years of Pacific Northwest logging experience means we know how to harvest valuably without damaging the land.
Common Logging & Timber Projects
Oregon's timber landscape supports a wide range of logging work. Here's what we handle most often for rural landowners:
-
Harvesting mature, marketable timber while preserving younger trees and the long-term health of the forest. The most common request from private landowners with mixed-age stands.
-
Commercial timber harvest on private tree farms, working forestland, and managed timber stands. Properly filed with ODF, properly compliant with Oregon Forest Practices Act.
-
Specialty work in steep terrain — the Cascade foothills, Clackamas River canyon, Molalla River corridor, and rural Sandy/Estacada acreage. Built for the technical jobs other crews won't take.
-
Salvage logging after windstorms, ice damage, fire, or insect kill — recovering merchantable timber before it loses value to decay. Time-sensitive work that needs fast mobilization.
