re: Harvesting timber on 20 acres

I have natural gas on the land and some oil. How does this impact the prices of trees?

Doesn't, but it certainly impacts the property value. If you have piping run everywhere, you are gonna have to get the company to come out and set up where they can log and drive or set mats.

Market is the only thing that impacts the price of trees. With that comes quality, straightness, size, etc.

Can't really tell you what to look at though. My suggestion is to take your questions to the local Ag & Forestry office. They would know more about specifics for your area than me, and will have all kinds of pamphlets and books for you to get

A fair amount of info here: LINK

i'm glad you aren't into pine management too, because all the rest of the foresters would be out of a job, since it's no work and all

I was, but our timber production/management was for the gubment. If you are a forester, you know how much of a PITA that is.

Going back for ME degree because the money sucks balls(<$30k) in LA for foresters and I couldn't find a job that paid enough to move.
