I understand as well that there are restrictions on what can be taken and what must remain based on what is taken and where it is taken from.

I will look into contacting the town forester. Having no experience in this area I’m wondering if there is anywhere else I should go for guidance regarding pricing (other than contacting several sawmills).
My town was littered with "free tree removal with X number of trees" signs a few years back. After some people took the company up on its offer, the overwhelming reports were that it was a mess afterward. Ground damage, stumps everywhere, partial trees/remnants, etc. to where the advice became—with very few exceptions—to not go that route.

What's your goal, and is this "usable" land you're hoping to have access to after?
