What if I'm not able to do any work and cannot afford to hire assistance to prepare a management plan?
  • We do understand and will be willing to try to assist individuals who have severe health and financial challenges if the property has been owned for a while.  For individuals purchasing timber property, it is difficult to understand how you cannot afford to hire the proper help if needed.  If you set your lands up correctly, most everything you do to the land is a write off.  Also, the amount of savings most receive on their property taxes would offset the cost of hiring assistance.
  • Timber management (depending on your stand) usually only requires major physical work every 5-10 years.  Once the initial work is completed, your time will be used for monitoring and improving the growth, health and value of the stand and researching and planning for the next harvest or treatment.  Timber management is an excellent family venture.  Make it enjoyable as it is a lifetime project.
