Many landowners do not use the services of a professional forester when selling their timber and this can result in receiving far less than their timber is worth. This can occur when the woods are not marked properly (i.e. harvesting the higher quality trees while retaining the lower quality trees) or the value received does not reflect the current market value of the products sold.

As consulting foresters we provide the following timber sale administration services:

• Timber marking according to scientifically based techniques to help improve the woods and achieve your management objectives.
• Preparation of a timber sale notice and marketing the products to regional timber buyers to insure the maximum value.
• Preparation of a timber sale contract between you and the timber buyer that best represents your interests.
• Random inspections of the harvesting operation to insure compliance with the timber sale contract and to prevent environmental damage to the site

			Trees for sale will be clearly marked.
			Skid trails will be designed into your harvest plans to avoid excessive erosion.
			Skidder at work.
			Remove the lower quality trees first to retain the high quality trees for future harvests, as well as establishing high quality regeneration.
			Logger at work with someone peaking from behind tree.
