What are the benefits of selling my timber? A timber harvest can provide multiple benefits to a landowner. Harvesting can remove poorly formed trees, lower-value species, damaged trees, and mature trees that will provide more growing space for residual trees. Properly harvesting trees will also speed up the rate of growth to residual trees allowing for more frequent harvesting. It will ensure a healthy woodlot and increase the economic potential. Many of our customers want to create a wildlife habitat. Harvesting will also improve access to your property to allow for more recreational opportunities. Most important, a timber harvest will provide all these benefits to future generations. We harvest timber in the region surrounding our sawmill - if you have woodlands in the shaded area we would be happy to discuss timber harvesting options with you.
