Before you sell timber...                                                                                                              

Tip #1: Have a 10-year plan in mind.

       The decisions you’re about to make will shape
your forest for many years to come. Without a
mental picture of that future before you sell,
you’re at the mercy of the market or circumstances
of the moment.

       For example, if you plan to sell your land
someday, you’ll look differently at how you sell
your timber than if you plan to leave the land to your
children.

       If wildlife is most important to you, you’ll cut
different trees than if financial return is most
important.

       The idea here is for you to have no regrets.
