We are flexible on working with owners to set up an appropriate contract for their timber, and always keep the clients' interests and objectives as our first priority.

Scott Geissler grew up in Western Massachusetts, until college where he moved to Maine to pursue a career in forestry at Unity College. After graduating in 2018, Scott worked as a forester with the US Fish and Wildlife System on a number of wildlife refuges throughout the northeast. Scott began working for Canopy Timber in the summer of 2019, when our first Maine log yard was established in West Paris. As an avid outdoorsman, Scott can often be found in the woods or on the water participating in any number of outdoor activities.

Born and raised in Vermont, Garry Welch has spent the past 35 years (and counting!) working with timber. Once he found that milking cows was not for him, he took to the woods in 1989 when he began logging with oxen and one tractor. Over time, the business grew beyond oxen with a skidder, dozer, and a log truck. Six years later, Garry transitioned to the broking end of the business and began buying for Three Rivers Timber out of Pennsylvania. In 1997, he found himself back in Vermont at Northeast Timber Exchange, where he worked until transitioning to working for Canopy Timber in 2021. When Garry is not in the Rockingham yard, he does not stray far from the woods and enjoys maple sugaring.
