As
a landowner, you understand the costs of landownership as
well as the many potential alternate uses of your property. The ability
to generate income from the property to offset the costs of ownership
is often a goal for many landowners. Our company believes that
timber production is an excellent opportunity to generate such
income. Most landowners have multiple objectives for their land
which may include hunting, wildlife enhancement, hiking, and
many other goals. With a good forest management plan, timber
production and revenues can coincide with these objectives.
As
a producer of wood products, we have a deep desire to see the forests
in this region be both sustainable as well as productive. We encourage
reforestation on harvested tracts, and will even provide assistance
to landowners in order to accomplish this goal. In addition, we
will be glad to assist you in planning for the next generation of
your forest.
Active
forest management can also lower your potential property tax liability
by taking advantage of "Present-Use Valuation" reflecting
the timber growing potential of your property instead of the future
development potential. We are able to produce a Forest Stewardship
Management Plan including full GIS mapping capabilities.
We
have a demonstration site where we can illustrate the impacts of good
forest and wildlife management. The site has been utilized for landowner
education, Boy Scout merit badges, and even Continuing Education for
Foresters in cooperation with North Carolina State University and
University of Tennessee.
