 Timber Harvesting
Conducting a timber harvesting operation on your property can be a once in a life time experience. Timber harvesting can not only create economic gain, but improve the wildlife habitat and the overall health and vigor of the stand for future generations to enjoy. In some cases if a forest is managed properly it may be possible to harvest timber from the same stand several times in ones lifetime. If handled incorrectly, it can leave wounds on the forest that can be seen for decades to follow. Using the services of a consulting forester will insure that the job is done to protect the environment and that the goals of the landowner are fulfilled. At Jacques Forest we work exclusively for the land owner and we look out for the best interest of our clients!
Things to consider before you harvest timber on your property:
- What trees should I remove to improve the quality of the stand?
- What trees are mature and need to come out?
- How much are the trees worth?
- Who should I get to cut them?
- What time of year should a harvest take place in order to minimize the impact of the land?
- How much money should I get from the timber sale?
- Will my access roads be usable after the timber sale?
- How long will it take to finish?
- How will I get paid?
- Who will make sure things are done right?
All of your questions and concerns can be answered by representatives from Jacques Forest LLC.
