- Timber Appraisals
The value of the timber is appraised based on Ron Taylor’s 36 years of field experience. The trees are measured, individual species volume tables are applied and local market stumpage values are computed to give the client the fair market value. This information is valuable for tax purposes or land value determinations. Should you decide to sell, RL Taylor Forestry can help the client get the best price and make sure that your trees, land and interests are protected.
- Forestland Management Plans
Forestland management plans are provided to meet the landowner’s/client’s needs. For example, this could be a tree farm or stewardship plan to provide a periodic and/or sustainable supply of wood products such as veneer, sawlogs, pulpwood or firewood. It could mean managing the forestland for improved growth or health and sustainability of resources such as timber, wildlife, water, recreation or aesthetics.
