When You Sell Trees in Illinois: Compliance and Benefits

Why Landowners are Required to Work with a Licensed Timber Buyer

The Timber Buyer Licensing Act was approved by the Illinois General Assembly in 1969 and is enforced by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The law states:

“Every person before engaging in the business of timber buyer shall obtain a license for such purpose from the Department.”

Therefore, it is essential for timber growers to work with an actively licensed timber buyer, such as Walnut Timber Buyers. However, the question for many is not how to sell timber in Illinois, but why.

How a Certified Forest Management Plan Can Save You Money

The Illinois Forestry Development Act says private landowners can save up to 50% on property taxes by promoting sustainable forestry. This law applies to land covered by a forest management plan approved by the Forestry Development Authority. When you sell cut trees in Illinois, Walnut Timber Buyers implements the Select Harvesting method. This is the healthiest (and most profitable) way to log forestry.
