You might even be recommended as tree farmer of the year and compete with other tree farmers at district, state, regional and national levels. As a forest manager your woodlands will produce more timber than you might have thought possible. And increased timber yields mean additional income for you. Income that will continue to grow and replenish with your forest. Also, in some states, certified tree farmers qualify for special real estate tax assessments that are lower than normal.
Tree farmers enjoy their forests.
Many are personally involved with planting and tending. Others take their pleasure in the recreation and scenery, delegating the work to professionals. Either way you'll often look over your woodlands and smile at the beautiful forest that came from your wise management. A professional forester can answer your questions. A free inspection of your woodlands can be arranged by your state forest service, state forestry association or state Tree Farm committee.
