    1. ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP 20 Aug 2019

      Just took an hour long walk through my land with a professional forester. He says that if we log 20 cords per year for heating the house, the forest will produce wood faster than we can harvest it. Squares with what I had thought, from reading, but good to have confirmed.

      2/ There's a variety of services that he can provide from "giving general advice" to "marking the trees I should cut" to "managing the loggers who cut the trees". Going w some combo of 2 and 3.

      3/ I think I want loggers to haul 20 cords per year in log form out of the forest and to a staging area, where I will cut and split it, then haul it back to the house. I might feel frisky and choose to drop a few trees and skid them out myself, but that's not my core competency

          4/ There is some, but not much, wood that is timber grade. Not enough to justify logging it at this point. There is much more that is cordwood grade. Plan is to selectively log for firewood / to open up the forest and improve the timber grade trees.https://twitter.com/gerad_tod/status/1163825812614729728 …

          Did you look into getting a quote on some of the surplus? We had oaks afflicted with blight and made a pretty penny having them logged. Tops are sufficient to provide years of wood heat.

          5/ We are logging mostly hardwoods, but trying to - if anything - remove pine and replace with hardwood. Soil is high quality enough to support either, so we're going to push towards the better (i.e. hardwood). https://twitter.com/RtWingScientist/status/1163825842775920640 …

          6/ Good question! Some trees, when you cut them down, will spring new saplings from the old cut trunk (googling "coppicing"). Most just rot, though. Our forest is littered with 80% rotted stumps from the last harvest ~ 25 years ago. https://twitter.com/unorthodoxxxy/status/1163853705306759170 …

          7/ And, anyway, no you can just ignore the stumps. Plenty of room around them for seeds and acorns etc to take root and form new trees.

          We tried that one year. Too much work vs opportunity cost.

          So much more cost effective to have a load of logs dumped. At least you own the trees outright, and need the maintenance, so have someone else do the heavy lifting. ...do they fit the category of farm hands?

          From personal experience, absolutely have the loggers bringout the logs AND tops. If not the tops will make a giant mess you will be cleaning up for years (decades).
