Fully Self-Integrated
Arndt Forest Products is a fully self-integrated operation, maintaining complete control over its processes from start to finish. They use no outside resources for their raw materials and have total control over all materials and transportation.
Sustainable Logging Services
Their logging services prioritize sustainable forestry practices by sourcing from suppliers committed to active reforestation programs. By aligning with partners who share their environmental values, they ensure responsible harvesting methods. Only mature trees are selectively cut, leaving other mature specimens to support natural seeding and allowing younger trees to thrive for future harvesting cycles.

Forestry and Wildlife Consulting
Our Forestry and Wildlife Consulting and Management services provide tailored, long-term plans designed to align with landowners’ goals while adhering to sound management practices. These services encompass timber marking and sales, tree planting, habitat improvement, food plots, and other essential elements to develop and maintain a thriving, well-managed timber stand and hunting property.

Land Clearing and Food Plots
The Land Clearing and Food Plot Services utilize advanced technology to transform land into optimal wildlife food plots. This process involves the efficient removal of unwanted vegetation, trees, stumps, and large rocks, creating ideal conditions for hunting or agricultural purposes.

Quality Firewood
Arndt Forest Products also specializes in kiln-drying firewood to reduce moisture content. This meticulous process ensures the production of light, bug-free, evenly burning firewood with superior efficiency. They supply loose firewood to local businesses and packaged firewood to clients throughout the Midwest.

Trucking & Transportation
To complement their forestry services, Arndt Forest Products operates a full-service trucking division. This enables seamless delivery of packaged firewood across the entire Midwest, rounding out their comprehensive suite of integrated services.

Problems
Here are typical problems that we have the solution for.
1. You want to choose a logging company that supports forest sustainability.
Agriculture and urban development are the primary drivers of deforestation. In contrast, sustainable logging, controlled fires, and pollution do not cause deforestation. It’s important to choose a logging company that follows sustainable practices.
2. Complex land management decisions
Landowners often encounter complex decisions regarding the best use of their land, such as whether to log it, sell it, enhance its habitat, or develop a food plot.
3. Clear your land and create a food plot
The task of clearing your land and creating a food plot can be overwhelming and time-consuming. Clearing a mature forest is hard work and it can be dangerous since it requires the use of heavy equipment and the need to drop trees.
4. Need to purchase large amounts of firewood with consistent quality and delivery.
In many states, firewood must be transported within 10 miles of its destination unless it is certified and treated to eliminate pests. If you own a campground or business requiring large quantities of firewood, how do you ensure compliance when purchasing firewood?
When buying firewood, you expect top quality every time and reliable delivery when you need it.
5. Need consistent delivery of firewood
You expect reliable firewood delivery when you need it. You want consistent, timely delivery of premium, prepackaged firewood at competitive prices. You don’t want to waste your time on unreliable products when you resell the firewood to your customers.

4. High-Quality, USDA-Certified Firewood for Campgrounds

Campgrounds require a steady supply of high-quality firewood, but finding vendors who offer USDA-certified firewood can be challenging. Firewood can also carry invasive species that threaten local ecosystems, making certification essential.
Arndt Forest Products provides kiln-dried firewood that is fast-starting, hotter, and low in smoke. Our firewood is bug-free, fungus-free, mold-free, lightweight, and has low moisture content—all prepackaged for easy resale.
Our firewood is processed using an industrial kiln that uses heat to reduce moisture, ensuring efficient, evenly burning firewood that is both lightweight and ready to burn. This process allows us to offer USDA and DATCP-certified firewood, providing peace of mind for campground owners and their guests.
