Greetings Rayetta,
I receive this exact question quite often and unfortunately I almost always provide the same answer: it depends.
Your walnut tree could be worth more as firewood, or it could be worth anywhere from $100 to several thousands of dollars. Only an on-site evaluation and appraisal by a professional forester or a licensed timber buyer can truly answer this question for you.
Therefore, you should contact your local Michigan DNR office for a list of professional consulting foresters who are active in your part of the state.
Best of luck!
