Nick Measuring DBH near rapidsHaving a good Timber appraisal and Wildlife Habitat inventory can make the difference in finding the right buyer for forestland properties.

A good Forest inventory and apppraisal will allow your seller to properly price and market the property both to investors and hunters who are looking to maximize their investment.  Wildlife habitat should also be incorporated into this appraisal as hunting and recreation is the number one reason for most forestland purchases in Wisconsin.

Good morning Bob. I am no longer an active investor of acreage, but when I was, the value of the timber was always a part of my thought process. The value that you can bring to the decision making process is invaluable.

Bob,

Unless someone is able to perform the timber and wildlife evaluation themselves (such if they do that professionally in another area), it sees like purchasing a timber and wildlife evaluation should be part of the due diligence process.  Good post.
