The decision to
harvest timber
should not be
made on a whim.
The Landowner's
objectives must be
met or surpassed.
Of course, one
main objective is
getting the best
price for the
timber now. But
what about the
future productivity
of the land? Will
there be deep ruts
(near left) or will
the logger do a
very good job
protecting the
land?

Selective Harvesting, including pine plantation
thinning, is a type of harvesting where a crop of
desirable trees are left to grow and produce
substantial income into the future.
Each "leave tree" represents an investment--if
the wrong leave tree is chosen, the investment
will not produce the desired results. Therefore,
making sure the right trees are chosen is the
most important decisions a Forester must make
in a thinning.

| Timber Selling |
MOST PRIVATE TIMBERLAND OWNERS who own 10
to 100 acres of forested lane typically conduct only one
or two timber sales during their lifetime or during the
duration of their ownership of the land.
Therefore, it goes without saying that a timber sale is
VERY IMPORTANT, and it behooves a landowner to
maximize his or her profit from such an operation.
But what kind of timber sale? A clearcut? A thinning?
Lump sum? Per-unit?
Will the property be left in a productive state or will it be
butchered and trampled making any future replanting or
natural reforestation difficult or residual tree growth
slow?
Can the landowner get a logger that will appreciate the
job, protect the land and most importantly respect him
and his needs? How can the landowner be certain that
his personal and tract-specific needs are being met?
Can the landowner be absolutely sure he is getting the
most money for his timber?
CHESNUT FORESTRY can assist landowners with their
timber selling ventures be they a small one-acre lot to
large 200+ acre tract. Only reputable timber buyers and
loggers are permitted to bid on timbered tracts that
Chesnut Forestry works with, and the six-page timber
harvesting contract which is custom tailored to the tract
(not a xeroxed, fill-in-the-blank agreement) is strong and
holds the landowners' and land's interest in highest
regard. The contract is sent along with the invitation to
bid, and it is understood that if a buyer submits a bid, he
is agreeing to the terms. So closing the timber sale can
often be quicker and seamless.
CHESNUT FORESTRY takes the guesswork out of a
timber sale. Tim finds corners, lines, trails, creeks, etc.,
flags and/or paints them so the logger can see them well,
and prepares the timber sale so that all any buyer needs
to do is show up and bid (it is recommended they cruise
the tract, but a volume table is included with the sale).
The process is a proven one, and 9 times out of 10,
CHESNUT FORESTRY garners a high bid much higher
than any previous offering--20% higher usually, and
occasionally higher still!
