Landowners choose to harvest timber for a variety of reasons, including managing the forests, cash money, clearing debris from a natural disaster, insect infestation or disease, and some do it to convert the land to other uses. Regardless of the reason, a successful timber harvest that meets landowner goals begins with a professional forester developing a plan. Finding the right consulting forester to help you through the selling process can make your timber sale easier and more profitable. Consulting foresters can help you write a management plan, mark timber, write contracts, and even find buyers for your timber. They’ll often get you a higher price for it too.
Pat Porter, owner and broker at RecLand Realty, provides some tips and resources to help landowners meet their goals, maximize their income and execute a timber sale successfully.
