Forestry Help

A good way to judge a "cut" is how many trees are damaged that are left.

Depends on what kind of contract you have written up. I too am a registered forester and want to see residual stems to put their energy post-harvest not in healing themselves but in diameter growth. Sure, a little damage is to be expected but there are loggers so in a hurry to make wood that they drag and fell without regard to damage inflicted on residual stems. Again, working with a reputable forester in your local area will prevent your getting stuck with the wrong logging outfit - he'll draw up a contract to your specs and will know the logging crews that work that area. The days of accepting an offer from someone who happens by and knocks on your door are over - work with a registered forester and put it up for competitive bid, retaining the right to refuse any and all offers. good luck and best regards.

SDelta,

My father just recently got out of the logging business. If you need any help with finding someone to look at the timber I can probably get you a few names and numbers.
