Woodlot Evaluation and Planning
Our foresters can:

    • Your goals and objectives
    • Natural and cultural characteristics of your woodlot
      • Boundary lines of your woodlot
  • Management Plans
  • Forest Inventory and Cruising
  • Coordinating Timber Harvest
    • Perform harvest layout
    • Contract a harvest operator
    • Act as your agent in the sale of your timber

Marketing Your Timber

Forest Operations
The SFPNA Sustainable Forestry Program only contracts with fully insured and trained logging professionals, such as a Certified Logging Professional (CLP), and many of our contractors are also Master Logger certified.


To meet the objectives of your woodlot, we contract with many operators who utilize several different harvesting systems for management. Some examples are:
  • Conventional (chainsaw, skidder)
  • Cut to Length (harvester/processor, forwarder)
  • Full Tree/Tree Length (fellerbuncher, skidder, de-limber, chipper)
 

It was a pleasure working with Sappi throughout this process and having spent numerous years in the logging industry we are fully aware of the challenges that foresters have to deal with on a daily basis. Sappi was able to honor the bid during fluctuating markets, payments were prompt, and the harvest matched the prescription in our harvest plan ensuring that future generations can enjoy the property for many more years. The quality of the outcome is a testament to your abilities and commitment to our harvesting operation from start to finish to ensure that all our goals and objectives were met. The woodlot has been in the Morton Family for generations and we are very fortunate to have chosen Sappi to oversee our harvest.
