properly planned and anticipated. This video suggests a recovery plan to overcome the regret that sometimes follows. Consider investing back into your woodland!

Great video, I really enjoy your BPF series. As you mentioned logging jobs always look messy, especially to the untrained eye. Landowners should keep in mind that the quality of a finished logging job varies greatly between loggers. A good logger will treat your land with respect and leave things neat and tidy, by logging standards. Tops cut down evenly, smaller damaged trees and stalks felled, any ruts or roads used for skidding smoothed over, etc. If I were a landowner selling my timber, I would want to see previous jobs completed by the crew harvesting before I let them work on my property. If long term timber management and a quality logging job are your priorities, make sure you use a logger with a proven track record of responsible logging practices. Sometimes the highest bidder does not perform the highest quality job.

Yes, yes, and more yes! I'm in full agreement with you.
