Valuing Trees on Your Property | What You Need To Know

- Habitat consultant Tom James discusses what you need to know about the timber on your property before considering harvesting. Valuing Timber can help you determine income on a property, and give you an idea of future timber values on that property,
Consider installing Screech Owl nest boxes. Owls eat rodents that host ticks and attract pit vipers. Look to see if you are in an area where you might consider installing Saw-Whet Owls nest boxes.
Consider conducting a Controlled burn. Missouri, Illinois and Indiana recommend a burn in late Winter - early Spring when ticks and pit vipers may be active searching for a blood meal while Dung beetles are still dormant. A well timed controlled burn can provide nutrients, clear underbrush, eliminate buildup of fire fuel and kill ticks and pit vipers. It is good to do a controlled burn so in a drought period should a fire start it can be better controlled. Remember to prepare your forest prior to a controlled burn by removing downed limbs from the base of trees to prevent damage to trunks.
This is likely one of the shortest Land Beat videos...but it’s likely the best based on the amount of insight shared. Thank you - please do more of these related to timber harvest and understanding what value one has or doesn’t have
Glad it was helpful! We will be doing much more "timber" related stuff this year on the series!
Much respect much respect that's a good solid information observe trees breast High very lucrative 18 in diameter and 20 in in diameter okay got it keep up the good work sincerely OG Arrington back to the study
great information. other channels just "take a look" ..."ask someone" which is basically not helpful. great info
Thanks! We try to be as informative as possible with our content!
Thanks. Time for me to take a walk. I gather that if I don’t find at least 80 mature trees in a an acre I ought to forget about it, for now. But, it’s worth a try just ta see.
Yup, always good to know what you have!
@@Whitetail_Properties I just now took a rough count at about 60 at 18” across and the vast majority too skinny. However, I did count five at 21” across. I do need to find out exactly where my property lines are. I’m hesitant to do so due to the cost. One estimate - $400. If I thought if I could make money, I would. Hence, my dilemma…?
Figure it any way you want, when you get to the mill it is all up to them.
Love the land beat series.
joseph dymarczyk Thanks! We would love some feedback or ideas on topics you might like to see us cover!
Good explanation!
Thanks for watching!
I have 5,000 wooded acre's of mature trees. I don't want to clear cut it. How many trees per 100 should I harvest
Per 100 acres? That would depend on the composition of trees and to what extent you wanted to thin the forest. Many variable to consider. We would recommend calling a consulting forester in your state and having them come look at the timber. They will be able to give you a much better idea after walking the property.
You said diameter but were measuring circumference... So is it the measured diameter or circumference?
Matthew Warfield
It is the diameter of the tree at breast height! Sorry for any confusion.
Circumference divided by 3.14 (pie) gives diameter...
Thanks for the video. Its probably helpful in a very general way, which is probably what your goal was in doing a 1 1/2 minute video. However, I’ve been a forester for 30+ years and the information you’ve given is way over- simplified, and even inaccurate in many ways. You may want to get some information on these specific things: trees per acre, size of trees, quality of trees, and where to get more information. I think you’ll find that your numbers are usually not valid for 90%+ of forests, especially those in the Americas.
Don’t tell south Georgia landowners trees under 18” dbh aren’t worth anything.
