TIMBER SALES

TIMBER CRUISING / APPRAISAL Do you know how much your timber is worth today? If you haven’t had your timber appraised recently, consider having our forestry consultants appraise your timber at its current age to determine its quality classifications and value at today’s market prices. Our professional foresters will walk over your property and record a sample of the timber on your property, noting the species, height, width, and quality of the timber. This sample will then be used to estimate the total value of all of your timber at current market prices.This is particularly useful if you own a substantial amount of forest land. A timber appraisal will help in your estate planning by establishing the value of your timber resources, and help your family plan appropriately to keep and manage what you have worked so hard for during your lifetime.
