timber sales

Timber sales involve selling harvested trees from forests or private land to buyers, such as logging companies or mills. Landowners or government agencies prepare a sale by marking trees to be cut, setting a price based on timber volume and quality, and creating a contract. Buyers then bid on or agree to purchase the timber, harvesting it responsibly following regulations. The proceeds benefit landowners, support forest management, and help supply wood products. Timber sales are an essential part of forest economics and sustainable land use practices when managed properly.
