| TIMBERLAND MANAGEMENT THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO MANAGE YOUR PRIVATE FOREST. I CAN OFFER YOU SEVERAL CHOICES JUST BY BRIEFLY WALKING THROUGH YOUR PROPERTY. ONCE MY WALK IS COMPLETED I WILL ASK YOU 2 SIMPLE QUESTIONS PRIOR TO SUGGESTING A SPECIFIC TIMBER HARVEST. FIRST QUESTION: DO YOU INTEND TO KEEP THE PROPERTY FOR MORE THAN 7 YEARS? SECOND QUESTION: WHICH IS MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU RIGHT NOW, MORE MONEY WITH THE INITIAL HARVEST OR A FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL STAND QUALITY FOR FUTURE HARVESTS EVERY 7 TO 10 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD? ARE YOU HOLDING YOUR TIMBER FOR RETIREMENT? HERE IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD CONSIDER: BY MANAGING YOUR TIMBER YOU WILL MAKE A LARGER RETURN ON YOUR PROPERTY. INSTEAD OF LOSING SMALLER TREES TO THE SHADE OF THE LARGE TREES THAT YOU ARE SAVING, YOU SHOULD SELECTIVELY THIN OUT THE LARGER TREES AND MAKE THE SMALLER ONES GROW FAST IN THE OPEN SUNLIGHT. THESE TREES WILL IN TURN, SUPPLY YOU WITH A LIFETIME OF RETIREMENT INCOME INSTEAD OF JUST ONE LARGE HARVEST. YOU WILL GET A LARGE SUM OF MONEY EVERY 7 TO 10 YEARS FOR AS LONG AS YOU PROPERLY MANAGE YOUR FOREST. CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO SEE DIAGRAMS I HAVE MADE TO BETTER DESCRIBE THIS MANAGEMENT. |
