Harvesting and Marketing Forestry Tour
Posted May 21, 2014 at 5:02 am by Tim Dustrude
Northwest Certified Forestry is excited to co-host a harvesting and marketing forestry tour with Rain Shadow Consulting on Orcas Island. Harvesting timber is an important management tool. If done with care and good planning, it can improve the quality and value of your forest while enhancing wildlife habitat, generating revenue and keeping your land in compliance with current use taxation programs.
If you are considering a timber sale, join us for a tour of several recent harvest projects on Orcas Island where we will discuss harvest costs, logistics, markets and a wide range of ecological timber management strategies.
Participants will learn about:
- Conducting a timber sale that aligns with your objectives
- Accessing local markets for your logs
- Estimating potential costs and revenue
- Locating contractors and professional forestry resources
- Improving wildlife habitat and forest health
- Developing ecological timber management strategies
The tour will be from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturday, June 14th, and will leave from Buck Park (Mt. Baker Road Eastsound). Participants are encouraged to carpool.
Don’t forget to RSVP! Space is limited to 25 participants. See our website or check out this PDF Flyer for more details.
