Timber Cutting Workshop

May 23, 2014 By eastwickpress

Making the decision to harvest timber on your property can be challenging. It’s a decision that will impact your woods and how your family will use it for many years. It’s often difficult to know where to start or who to talk to. If you’ve been thinking about a timber cut but would like more information before moving forward, then sign up for a workshop presented by a Master Forest Owner (MFO) on Saturday, May 31, at 9:30 am at the Pineridge Cross Country Ski Area on Plank Road (Co Rt. 40) in East Poestenkill.

MFO Walter Kersch will introduce landowners to proven management practices for their forests, will help landowners understand the role of a forester and what to do when approached by a logger or timber salesman.

During this hands-on event you will visit a forest plot marked for a timber stand improvement (TSI) cut, learn how to measure trees to estimate the board feet or cords of wood and consider tree conditions for pulp or saw timber. Participants will discuss advantages and expected results of a TSI and gain a better understanding of how to figure out potential returns and when a tree is of most value. The group will also share experiences of management efforts in their own woods.

The program is presented by the Rensselaer Plateau Alliance and co-sponsored by the Capital District New York Forest Owner Association with a $10 per person fee to cover costs. Refreshments will be served. Please wear clothing and boots suitable for walking in the woods and don’t forget your insect repellent!
