Selling your standing timber can be a daunting experience. Let us walk you through the process.

If it’s your first time harvesting, you may be asking yourself a lot of questions. Which trees do I harvest? What size should they be? How will harvesting affect my property as a whole?



With us, your harvesting will begin with an assessment of your property’s standing timber, done personally by Scott Cole. We’ll outline a harvesting plan based on your goals and answer any questions you have along the way.

• Your large, mature trees can be harvested for timber, whereas trees that are of a lower quality can be removed for firewood
• If you remove trees strategically, you can give your smaller trees more access to sunlight, helping their future growth
• For a sustainable harvest, you should consider not only the trees you’re removing, but also how the woodland will renew itself

Harvesting your timber shouldn’t be a one-time affair; for the best results, your harvesting should be strategic and completed periodically. At Cole Forest Products, we avoid over-harvesting your wood because of its negative financial and environmental consequences.

Financially, it’s important that you harvest strategically and avoid depleting your wooded resources, so that you can plan for the income generated from future harvests. Environmentally, aggressive harvesting practices can put too much stress on your wooded habitats, making forest regeneration more difficult.
 

Maybe it's your first harvest, or maybe you've been here before. Either way, we'll give you the one-on-one attention you deserve. Call 989-736-8928 today.
