Before I had my own small lot logged, I hired a consulting forester to evaluate the value of the timber. I ended up with $18,000 in my pocket in addition to having the land cleared as I wanted it. The consulting forester was only a few hundred bucks and I learned a lot walking around with them, talking, and marking the trees I wanted removed. They wrote down an inventory of the trees that was then shopped for bids to the loggers. The loggers knew the estimates of board feet and species was accurate because the foresters had a good reputation.

Your timber may or may not have much value, but the foresters will document it and help keep the loggers honest.
