Thinning
Both the health and esthetics of a forest can be improved by selective thinning. As trees age, they compete for nutrients and become overcrowded in unmanaged forests. Unless some trees are removed it will stunt the growth of the surrounding timber. Timber thinning is an optimal forest management tool to improve timber stands and bring some revenue back to the landowner.
If you are considering a thinning contact us today for a free estimate. We will send our forester to evaluate your timber stand and give our recommendations for the best management strategy of your forest.
Complete Harvest
A complete harvest, sometimes called a clear cut, consists of the removal of the entire stand of trees and will bring maximum return on your timber. A complete harvest also allows the landowner to start over with an even age stand of trees and makes it much easier to manage the future forest.
With over 20 years of experience, Cedarland Forest Resources has the expertise and marketing contacts to bring maximum returns to the landowner. We provide full service from the permit process, harvesting, marketing, and assisting the landowner with reforestation and future forest management plan.

Replanting
Reforestation is the intentional restocking of existing forests or woodlands. CFR suggests planting an average of twenty trees to every one tree harvested, allowing saplings the greatest chance of survival. This also ensures a sustainable environment for future forests. CFR understands the importance of maintaining the forests as they are one of the greatest renewable resources we have in the US. Our forests also play a key role in our habitat and ecosystem. When working with CFR you will be working with industry leaders who are experts in their field. They will assure you have the best boots on the ground to get your project done.
Timber sales
CFR regularly engages in the buying of standing timber. In this case the landowner retains the ownership of their property and simply sells the standing timber to CFR. CFR offers highly competitive prices and oftentimes offers cash in advance against the stumpage value of your timber. If you have standing timber on your property that you are interested in selling please contact us for a fair market appraisal.
