Service ARea FAQS
How do I know if my timber is ready to harvest?
It depends on species, age, density, and your long-term goals. A site visit is the best way to determine the right timing.
How far will you travel for a project?
Most projects are located throughout Northwestern Oregon, but service availability depends on the scope, size, and location of the work. Contact us to discuss your property and project goals.
Do you work on smaller properties?
Yes. While some projects involve large tracts of timberland, we also work with smaller properties. The best way to determine feasibility is through a conversation about your specific situation.
Can you visit my property before I decide on a project?
Absolutely. Many projects begin with a site visit to evaluate the timber, terrain, access, and overall objectives for the property.
What if my property has difficult access?
Steep terrain, limited road access, and remote locations are common throughout Oregon. Access challenges do not necessarily prevent a project, but they do affect planning and operations.
Let's Get Started
If you're considering a timber harvest, the best place to start is a walk through the property. We'll take a look at what you have, discuss your goals, and help you understand the opportunities available to you.
Experience
With over 40 years of experience in the timber industry, the folks at High Mountain Resources know how to serve you. From quality workmanship to knowledge of other aspects of forestry, we give the landowner assurance that their job is being done right and that their property is in capable hands.
Practices
We address environmental challenges with an ethical approach. Streams, slopes and wildlife are all examples of these challenges. In these cases, we usually fall trees away from streams, limit work on steep and unstable slopes and usually leave habitat for wildlife to mitigate the effect of timber harvesting.
Selling Your Logs
Getting the most for your logs is more than just selling to the highest bidder. It is the art of knowing where to cut your logs to maximize grade and scale which are the basis on which logs are priced and sold. It is the ability and willingness to sort and sell logs to multiple buyers. That's where we can help.
Consulting
Not sure what to do with your timberland? We help landowners understand their options. Whether you're looking to harvest, manage for the long term, sell, or improve property access, we'll walk your land, listen to your goals, and provide honest guidance on what's realistic for your situation. No obligation—just straightforward advice.
Client Testimonials
Ken Groat has been a valuable part of our tree farm for many years. His knowledge of forest practices, timber markets, and operations has been a tremendous asset. Ken developed a strong relationship with my father and continues to be someone our family can count on for advice, guidance, and help when needed.
Will A., Family Tree Farm
We hired High Mountain Resources to log four acres of our woodland lot in 2025. Ken was professional, timely, and handled our neighbors' concerns with care. He even helped coordinate the access road and prepare the property for replanting. The entire process was straightforward, and our timber payments arrived promptly.
I highly recommend High Mountain Resources for small woodland projects.
Wayne H.
Ken was knowledgeable, cautious, and well connected with local timber buyers. He helped us make the most of our property while preserving its natural beauty and important shade trees. The finished property looks like a park, and we no longer worry about trees threatening our home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
