Developing a Timber Contract

By , About.com GuideJanuary 31, 2008

Creating a timber sale contract should give you comfort and reduced anxiety over that next timber sale. A timber contract is created to put both logger and timber owner on notice and is a reminder of their obligations. These written commitments will more often lead to a mistake-free harvest than not having a timber contract.

The legal consequences resulting from cutting, purchasing and selling timber should be of major concern to all parties involved in a timber sale. Most forestry professionals will recommend you always use a timber sale contract and you should customize every contract around a sale's unique conditions.
