Managing a woodlot can provide landowners with many benefits — all at the same time. You can grow more valuable wood products faster, improve wildlife habitat and increase the diversity and overall health of the forest ecosystem. When the time comes to harvest your trees, you’ll need to sell your timber to a logger and ensure that the trees are harvested in ways that improve the long-term health and commercial value of your woodlot.
This Extension Note provides information on how to plan the harvest and how to sell your standing timber. It also provides a sample Timber Sale Agreement that you can adapt to reflect your unique situation and needs.
