Selling timber is a very misunderstood process. It is seldom done correctly without proper guidance. Division of Forestry, Service Foresters are available to review your property prior to you signing any timber harvesting contracts. It is important to understand the resource you own and the options for marketing that are available to you.
If you participate in the Ohio Forest Tax Law program, you should always call our office before you sign any agreement to cut trees.
Dress for the weather. Coffee will be provided. To register for the class, call 440-564-5883 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Watch for further announcements for dates and times in your local periodicals.
