A Good Bench in The Woods; A Place to Relax and Ponder.
I like to find a good bench in the woods, I think that it is important for solving the problems of the world and the problems in my life.

Something about having a place to sit, soak up a little sun on a cool autumn day and think about things that need to be thought about.

Find a bench in a forest near you, I think that you will be glad that you did.

If you need help finding a bench or a forest, let me know, I would be glad to help.

Edge is basically the area between two or more ecosystems (timber types, timber ages, non forested areas, wetlands, etc.).

Remember the Ticks are Still Active, Don't Forget to Check for Ticks After Those Fall Walks.

huntingland: Neglecting your Forest Seldom an option for Wildlife & Forest Health - 06/17/16 04:34 PM

Neglecting your Forest is Seldom the best option for Wildlife and Forest Health
Leaving your forest alone is seldom the best option for either wildlife habitat or a healthy forest.
An unmanaged forest will become stagnant reducing the amount of food for wildlife and crowding out the younger trees which are important for the next generation of the forest.
Most wildlife requires a diverse forest with varied ages and types of trees for both food and shelter.
And a healthy sustainable forest requires various ages of trees to enable future generations.

FAQ Do I need a Timber Appraisal when Buying and Selling Forestland?
It depends...
Do you want to take advantage of tax programs such as the Timber Depletion Allowance?
When buying forestland is essential to know your basis, especially the basis of your timber, this allows for a significant tax break when it comes time to sell any timber from the property, and the value of this basis must be determined as of the day that you become the owner of the property.
Do you want your banker to consider the whole value of the property when considering your mortgage?

Selling Rural Land? Learn to Read and Write Property Legal Descriptions We work with a lot of Real Estate Agents in evaluating, finding and helping sell forestland and one of my pet peeves has always been a lack of proper training my most professionals in writing proper legal descriptions.

LEASING HUNTING LAND; INCOME FOR LANDOWNERS, WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT TOOL FOR WILDLIFE BIOLOGISTS, AND GREAT LAND FOR HUNTERS.

—By leasing out their land, woodland owners may be able to profit from the rich tradition of hunting that exists in Wisconsin. An untapped source of income could exist on property that sustains wildlife.
