Sussex County, NJ sits in the northwestern corner of New Jersey, bordering Orange County, NY to the north and Pike County, PA to the west. Its forests — particularly along the Kittatinny Ridge and in the higher elevations of Stokes State Forest and surrounding private land — include mixed oak, hardwood, and hemlock stands. Environmental Forest Products serves Sussex County landowners for timber harvesting coordination and land clearing projects that align with its service area in the tri-state region.
New Jersey landowners interested in timber sales or forestry consulting should contact Henry Kowalec to discuss the scope of services available in Sussex County. The forestry regulatory environment in NJ differs from New York, but timber marketing, selective harvesting, and land clearing services are available. An initial consultation will identify which services are applicable to a specific property.

Environmental Forest Products is based in Westbrookville, Sullivan County — not a regional franchise or an out-of-area operator. When EFP takes on a project in Sussex County, Henry Kowalec conducts the site assessment personally, plans the work based on what he sees on the ground, and is directly accountable for the outcome. That direct, personal approach is the foundation of every service EFP provides.

How do I find out what my Sussex County timber is worth?
A timber appraisal from a certified consulting forester establishes what your timber is actually worth on the current market — species by species, size-class by size-class. This is the essential first step before agreeing to any timber sale, and it gives you an independent benchmark for evaluating offers. Environmental Forest Products provides timber appraisals throughout Sussex County.
Does EFP handle land clearing in Sussex County?
Yes. Land clearing for residential and commercial site preparation is available throughout Sussex County. Every clearing project begins with a timber assessment — if merchantable trees are present, that value is recovered before clearing begins rather than being chipped or burned. This step often offsets a meaningful portion of the project cost.
How much does a forestry site assessment cost in Sussex County?
Contact EFP at (845) 754-8242 to discuss your property and the scope of the assessment. Initial consultations are the starting point for all projects in Sussex County — the fee and process depend on parcel size, objectives, and the specific services you are considering.
