At West Logging LLC, timber harvesting is more than cutting trees — it’s a careful process that balances today’s economic opportunity with tomorrow’s forest health. Done correctly, harvesting not only provides landowners with immediate financial return but also sets the stage for stronger, healthier growth in the years to come.
Timber harvesting is the process of selecting, cutting, and transporting trees from the forest to a landing or mill. While it may sound straightforward, effective harvesting requires:
Strategic Planning – Choosing which trees to remove, and which to leave for future growth.
Technical Expertise – Understanding how to protect soil, water, and wildlife habitat.
Specialized Equipment – Using the right tools and machinery to maximize efficiency and minimize damage to your property.
With over 60 years of combined family experience, West Logging has developed a harvesting process built on both tradition and innovation. Our approach includes:
Selective Harvesting – Removing only the trees that are ready, ensuring future growth potential.
Clear Communication – Explaining the process up front so landowners know what to expect.
Efficient Operations – Modern equipment and skilled crews that complete jobs safely and on schedule.
Environmental Stewardship – Protecting waterways, reducing soil disturbance, and leaving your land in better condition than we found it.

Immediate, fair-market profits from your timber
Long-term sustainability and improved forest health
Increased future value through planned regeneration
Peace of mind knowing your property is being managed responsibly
