About Upstate New York Forestry Services
Over 15 years of dedicated service to Upstate New York landowners, providing expert timber sales and forestry management.
Your Forestry Consultant
Scottie Hatch is a professional consulting forester who represents landowners in timber sales—not the logging companies buying your timber. With a forestry degree from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and certification as a NYS Cooperating Forester, Scottie brings scientific expertise and market knowledge to every timber transaction.
Based in Corning, NY, Scottie has spent over 15 years helping Upstate New York landowners maximize the value of their forest resources. As your consultant, Scottie's job is to ensure you receive fair market value for your timber while protecting your property from damage and ensuring quality work.
Unlike logging companies that want to buy your timber as cheaply as possible, Scottie works exclusively for you. Through competitive bidding, professional timber cruising, and harvest supervision, Scottie ensures you get the highest price and best service possible.
Every project begins with a free property assessment. Scottie personally walks your land, evaluates your timber, discusses your goals, and provides honest recommendations—with no obligation to proceed.
