re: Harvesting timber on 20 acresPosted by hawkster on 7/19/13 at 9:38 am to Howard Juneau
quote:
you can't just bid a select cut without first hiring a consulting forester to mark the trees to be cut. So, to answer your question, hire a consulting forester. Tell him what kind of cut you want, and he will go out with a paint gun and put a paint mark on the tree at breast height and one at the stump that will still show after its cut. Then you get three companies to bid on the marked timber.
Finding a good logger is pointless unless you know exactly what you want to harvest and mark those trees first. A timber harvest is one step in a long-term plan, and you need help from a forester to develop and understand that plan before you do anything. I can second the recommendation on Jeff and Joel Sanders, they are professional, honest and conscientious.
