We strive to help landowners meet their ownership goals, with courteous and timely communications, high ethical standards, and environmentally sustainable forestry.
Your satisfaction depends on the quality of our service.
We strive to maintain long term working relationships with Maine landowners by dependably meeting your ownership goals. We emphasize courteous and timely communications and apply high professional standards, in an effort to treat you as we would like to be treated.
We are vocal and visible advocates for ethical and environmentally sustainable forestry. We represent our clients’ exclusively when selling their timber, and never buy it ourselves for later resale. We also embrace forest certification as a means of holding our management practices against the highest industry standards.
Where does the company name come from?
The name Two Trees is derived from a long-lost poem about a homeowner whose yard contained two beautiful and valuable trees. Throughout the poem he considers the values of esthetics and financial worth and ponders how he might best manage his property and these two trees in particular. The poem’s debate mimics the line we walk while helping landowners find the right management balance for their woods and needs.
