FORESTRY FORUM

If any of these and a multitude of other topics apply, then The Forestry Forum is the place for you... Do you have trees to grow? Logs to saw? A forest to manage? Chainsaws to fix? A sawmill to purchase or maintain? Timber related business to run? Lumber to dry? Trees or plants to identify? A cabin to build? Are you hungry and like FOOD?... This regarding timber that loggers want, and will harvest in forestry operations. In the past month, I have come across two timber people who have mentioned that hickory is not desirable forestry-wise and that surprised me, I thought the opposite. One was a forester discussing forestry management and the focus was white oak but he also mentioned other desirables to nurture along with it but hickory was a negative. Wish he would have elaborated more. Other guy drives a logtruck here and he was thinking that the mills don't even want it in hardwood loads, period. I don't get it. I love it as firewood anyway!Read More
