Timber Cruise Needed Alexandria area

I’m looking at a piece of property in central Louisiana and looking to talk to someone about the current value of the timber and what’s the optimal timing to cut it. Any recommendations from the OB.

How many acres are you talking about,just curious.

The tract is about 250 acres. About half of it is in 20 year ish planted pine. It’s been thinned once. Other half is hardwood.

125 acres of pine you might get a halfway decent price especially with all the timber lost to wildfire.
My cousin and I had 100 combined adjacent acres and took 3 years to get it thinned and her husband is a forester.
We didn’t get a very good price,that was before all the wildfires though.
My major interest is wildlife habitat.

Forester came through our neighbors woods and said 30% had been top killed from the drought. I’d wait for spring green up before buying based on a timber evaluation that could have dead trees. Not sure if they can tell as easily when the leaves are off the tree. We are just south of you

Good point,if OP is looking for an investment in timberland.My cousin’s 30 acres has a lot of dead pines,I mean a bunch.
My 70 acres,the trees are 20 years older and not many have died.
I have a good bit of hardwood and I lost a good many oaks following the drought in 2011.I’ll lose more after this drought,already seeing some dying and dropping limbs.
When I got into investing in trees I was hoping for some retirement money.That hasn’t worked out but I have just about broken even.I do have reasonably good deer hunting so I’m happy with that.
