Derek and his crew harvested my lot in 2015 along with 5 other lots in the area and I think we were all very satisfied. These guys go above and beyond. They have good equipment and very capable operators.Paul Tucker, Milford
We were very pleased with Derek's professional approach from start to finish. The work was carried out efficiently, we were kept informed, and the site was left in good shape.S.C., Surry
In accordance with a forest management plan, Madden Sustainable Forestry executed the harvest plan. Their care of our remaining adjoining fields and streams and their careful execution ensured protection of the farm and enhanced the environmental impact on the entire acreage. Job well done!Larry & Deanna Wade, Spring Hill Farm, Bradley
Did a great job. The clean up and chipping was wonderful. Land looks great now. Will have him back.Peter Vogul, Castine
I was very impressed with the work that was done. The men were helpful and courteous. I would recommend them to anyone. If I was to rate them, I would give them an A+. Marlene Libby
I had approximately 90 acres harvested by Madden Sustainable Forestry. They did an excellent job. They worked with me to get the result I was looking for. I would happily recommend Madden Sustainable Forestry to anyone.small wood lot owner
Thank you so much for making our magical trails and beautiful benches.Wells Forest (via Thank You card)
Derek and his crew did a great job!Jane Irving, Castine
Very professional. A fine selective cut. Our 30 acres never looked better. Great for future growth. A hard working, polite crew plus the clean-up was as promised. Fred Gunther, Castine
Madden Sustainable Forestry crew transformed our property into a workable and manageable area that is safe from future storm damage. We now have a new property space to create and plant new trees and plants. Prompt, courteous and professional. Thank you for our peace of mind!Deborah Hamblen, Castine
Our continuing experience with Madden on 950 acres has been nothing less than stellar: a clear explanation of the work to be done; the attitude and work ethic of employees; the absolute transparency as to costs and revenues; and, most important, the quality of the work performed. We feel fortunate to be able to work with Derek.Ruth Anne and Bobby Vagt
Derek's trail machinery has totally changed my forest trails. I truly enjoy that people can easily walk, springs can now flow to the stream, and I can easily work on my pre-commercial thinning. Thank you Derek!!Pam Wells, Wells Forest
I met Derek Madden in May of 2016 when we walked my land and discussed a harvest. The harvest did not begin until 2018 due to the ground not being frozen. When it did freeze, they began the harvest and did a splended job. I was and am very pleased with my experience with Derek and his team.E.S.B., Castine
I spoke with one of your employees at the "Big Apple" store in Orland. I am very impressed at how well he spoke. Thanked him for the conduct of your crews in Penobscot. Our town has had other crews working who did much less work on much smaller tracts, and create a lot more difficulty for those of us who lived nearby. Nice work on the North Penobscot Road site. Red (my husband) and I both trained at Acadia National Park with their fire suppresssion crews, and the tracts you are working were some of those we were concerned that it would be hard to defend. Trees unharvested for long periods, trees and other vegetation very close together...your crew chief there has a good sense of the land they are working and has left the place better than it was. Penobscot resident and land owner
We appreciate the fine work Derek and his crew spent logging our 150 acre lot. We found him easy to communicate with, which came in handy with our neighbors, as we were not on site during the harvest, and Derek went above and beyond to make our neighbors happy. He was accessible to them, communicating how the operation was being handled, and even gave the neighbor closes to the noise a gift card for coffee - so appreciated, Derek. Thank you! We have already given Derek's contact info to my cousin in Castine...Blue Hill

I am very pleased at the work done by Derek and his men. They were considerate, courteous and professional. My 25 acres will now thrive and I made money too!Elaine Gerard Climo, Penobscot
The new face of our old property is a continual source of enjoyment and wonder to us. The Madden crew was at once full of expertise, information, and advice which they freely shared with us. Our most sincere thanks for their good work!Landowner, Penobscot
Hey Derek. Just wanted to thank you for all you did. You guys did an awesome job. You have a great crew and we did get the check. It's perfect, love it and thank you again.Gorden Moffitt, Bradley
What a lovely surprise to find a gift card to Dunkin Donuts at my house. It was most kind of you. Take care. You and your crew are professional fellows. I always recommend your company.Elaine, Penobscot
You and your team, right down to your office crew, do such a professional and reputable job from start to finish. What you do changes the landscape for the better. Thank you for providing your expertise to our project earlier this year.Madison

Our neigbor is very happy with the work that Derek and his team did to clean up and restore his field that we used as a log yard. Please pass along our thanks to Derek and crew for their excellent work to finish up this project in the right way and help maintain good relations between neighbors. Joe and Suzanne

I want to thank you and your crew for doing such a FANTASTIC job! Your worker Joey really is a respectable man. He truly is kind, caring and a really hard worker. I didn't get a chance to talk with others on your team, but Joey always made it a point to wave back to us or just say hi when I did. He cleared some trees on my property which I am forever grateful for. Thank you and your team again for being amazing! Keep up the great work. Beth Sullivan, Sedgwick
Everyone did well by this wood harvesting. The land can now return to new growth. Wildlife can feed and grow on the new growth. This land has been passed down for 4 generations and will be ready to be harvested in years to come. Thanks.Gerald Butler, Property off Stover Road in Blue Hill
I was pleased with your work. Would have you do it again. Crew were very friendly. Would recommend you to everyone needing wood work!Anonymous
While working with Derek in 2019, we learned a great deal about managing our forest sustainably and we found him and his team to be responsive, personable, and highly skilled. He cares deeply about the forest environment, communicates effectively, and enriched our understanding of our family's four adjacent properties, treating our property as if it were his own. We look forward to Derek returning to work with our children many years from now when the forest is again ready to harvest and know that they will enjoy the same benefits working with him that we discovered.Temple and Victoria Blackwood
Madden Sustainable Forestry is the best forestry business in the State of Maine. Derek, Steve, and the rest of the crew are so knowledgeable, friendly, polite, and so very very easy to work with. They treated my land as if it were their own and when the harvest was done, left the land in pristine condition. I would highly recommend MSFI and would not hesitate to call them again. Betty Smickle, Orrington
Thank you so much for your help with clearing our land. It looks great, and we are excited to have you guys back out once it dries up. Joseph
Madden Forestry worked with us to reclaim a portion of 50 acres surrounding on of our cabins to improve tree growth, wildlife habitat and remove fire risk. The job was done professional and timely. We will continue to work with and recommend Madden Sustainable ForestryEstabrook Camps
Thanks so much for the wonderful path to the stream - never thought it would ever be possible! I will enjoy it!Brenda
Great company to work with. Very timely and well managed operation. Always available to discuss topics related to their business. (Third Woods), Blue Hill
Highly recommend Derek Madden if I had to have my wood lot cut again. Everything from running lines, cutting, tracking and office work was done in a very professional manner. Was great to work with everyone on the crew. The lot was cut exactly the way I wanted it done. Ron Cote
The new face of our old property is a continual source of enjoyment and wonder to us. The Madden crew was at once full of expertise, information and advice which they freely shared with us. Our most sincere thanks for their good work!Bob, Penobscot
Enjoyed interacting with Derek and his crew. Great work ethic. Impressed by Derek's emphasis on doing what's best for the wood lot so that future harvests have a greater chance of being productive.Jeff Sewell, Island Falls
Derek Madden of Madden Sustainable Forestry did all I asked and more. They cleaned the area where they staged their equipment and cleaned the land where the heavy equipment made ruts. They are a super Maine company. I wish I had more land...Flo, Blue Hill
