Selling Timber? Do it Right! workshop

The New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association and the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension are teaming up to offer a landowner workshop series, Dollars and Cents of Owning Land, to help landowners be prudent woodlot owners. These classes are designed to inform the experienced landowner as well as those who are new to owning a woodlot. Each class provides a comprehensive look at a different aspect of land ownership.

The second workshop of the series, Selling Timber? Do it Right!, will be held at the Conservation Center in Concord on February 13th from 5:30 to 8 p.m.

Selling timber is a once-in-a-lifetime activity for most landowners. No single activity has such power to significantly improve or degrade your forest. Proper harvesting can provide income, improve wildlife habitat, and can result in new trails, better access, views, and healthy and vigorous forests.

Jim Frohn, Grafton County Extension Forester will explain the steps to ensure a successful timber sale. Topics include: goals and objectives, role of foresters and loggers, timber sale contracts, laws, and taxes.

Each workshop starts at 5:30 with a light supper and mingling, with presentations, discussions, and questions and answers to follow. Each class will conclude at 8:00 p.m. Location is at the Conservation Center, 54 Portsmouth St., Concord, N.H.

Come to one, two, three, or all sessions. Preregistration is required for us to plan for food and handouts. Cost is $25 per class for NHTOA members, $30 per class for non-members. To register, go to https://nhtoa.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/ical&reset=1&list=1&html=1&type=8
