I just learned some more on this from some locals.  You should be looking for a licensed "Timber Operator."  They'll be able to file the necessary paperwork on your behalf in order to allow you to sell the lumber to a mill.  I'm told that Big Creek usually buys logs from these Timber Operators, so there's a solid market for them.  Hope that helps!

OK, thanks for that. I've found a couple of places that claim they can do this kind of work, so I'll be sure to use the phrase "timber operator" and see how they react...
I don't like stuff that sucks.

I was able to find this... the list of Licensed Timber Operators (LTOs): https://caltreesplans.resources.ca.gov/Caltrees/customization/common/licenseList.aspx
