Arrange the Timber Evaluation and Sale

Selling a timber harvest is usually a once or maybe twice in a lifetime event. Arranging and executing a timber sale and harvest involves many considerations. WoodForest can guide the landowner through the process from beginning to end.

Our foresters will meet with you to discuss your goals, and have a walk around your stand of timber to assess the condition of your woodland. We will arrange a "cruise" to estimate quantity, quality and market value. We'll then provide you a report considering your objectives and how to meet them with environmental responsibility.

WoodForest is available for guidance throughout the process. 

Once we evaluate the condition of your stand, we'll mark the boundaries of the harvest. We log the timber using state forestry association trained and certified methods to ensure a quality harvest. We confirm our takeout road, and any stream crossings are protected, as well, we consult with adjacent landowners to ensure boundaries and access roads are acceptable. Once we have harvested, we are responsible to tidy up and prepare your land for future growth or futher development.
