Timberland Management
As a buyer of standing timber we prefer to conduct your harvest in a manner to ensure a future generation of growth.  Harvesting low value, low quality trees in conjunction with the high value species keeps a healthy balance in your forest.  This approach will help your wood lot increase in value with each harvest. Also keeping a healthy long lasting relationship between our company and the landowner.

If you are interested in purchasing or selling a property and would like to know the value from a resource aspect, give us a call. We would be happy to give you our professional opinion of current value and also future options.
 
Wildlife Improvement
Many landowners may be interested in a habitat for wildlife.  Properly harvesting timber can improve wildlife habitat.  Wildlife need food, cover, water & living space.  Leaving low value oak will aid in sustaining the wildlife as white tail will utilize the acorns. Some tree tops if left will also create browsing material as well as cover. Food plots are also a great food source for wildlife (visit our excavation page for food plot information).
