Timber Works is currently paying some of the highest prices we have ever paid for standing Ash timber!
Ash in Diminishing Supply
As you may or may not know, the Ash population of North America is in drastic decline, brought on by an invasive insect known as the Emerald Ash Borer.
Standing Ash Prices on the Rise
This Asian bug overwinters in the cambium of all N. American Ash tree species’, burrowing tunnels in the tree’s cambium and ultimately cutting off the ability for water and nutrients to flow up and down the tree between root and canopy.

This outbreak has decimated Ohio’s population of Ash, with many stands in Northern and Central Ohio undergoing a complete kill off in the past few years. Though this is a tragic event, timber owners have a unique opportunity to sell their standing Ash at prices significantly higher than historic averages, even after the trees have died.
Act Fast to Get the Most from Your Trees
If your trees are still putting on leaves, there’s a good chance their value has not been significantly affected by the borer. However, once the canopy dies completely, the tree begins to decay and salvaging any commercial value from the dead Ash trees in your stand becomes a race against time.
Removing ash trees from your woods offers several benefits. First, you can gain financial value by selling the trees before they deteriorate too much. Second, clearing dead ash trees improves safety by preventing falling limbs and debris, which could harm landowners, pets, and visitors. Additionally, removing these unsightly trees creates space for other species to grow and fill the gaps left by the ash die-off.
