Harvest with Accountability
The crew focuses on selective cutting, safe access, and leaving the land ready for continued management.
A timber sale should make sense today and still feel right years from now.
Good forestry work balances value, access, regeneration, and the character of the land. Cherry Creek Forestry favors selective harvesting because the best outcome is not simply what leaves the property, but what remains healthy, workable, and ready to grow.

A few things most owners ask first

View FAQsWhat types of timber do you buy?
Cherry Creek Forestry primarily evaluates standing softwood timber, especially pine and other conifer stands. Species mix, volume, access, and acreage all affect whether a property is a good fit.
How much land do I need?
There is no single answer because timber quality and access matter as much as acreage. The best first step is to send the property location and approximate acres.
Will the property be clear cut?
We specialize in selective cutting. The goal is to remove marketable trees while supporting sustainable woodlot management.
