Developing A Personalized Timber Sale Contract

First and very important - determine an agreed price for the timber under contract and put the total amount into the agreement. Trees can be sold in various ways. Depending on the condition of the forest, you might be planning a complete liquidation cut or some type of partial cut where trees will be left. Specific silvicultural practices will determine how you select trees to be sold.
Partial or selection cuts should either indicate a paint spot at breast height plus a stump spot to indicate trees included in a sale or you may further indicate a minimum diameter and/or species of tree to be cut. The paint would be used to assist loggers in finding appropriate trees to cut and help you inspect for inappropriate cutting of non-sale timber.
Complete liquidations should be supported by either a flagged or painted boundary around the sale area described above. A species cut may be appropriate and should be indicated in the contract.
