Timber Land and how does it work? North Idaho
BP!
I'm curious on how this system works and would like to see if anyone has any insight? I live in North Idaho and we have a lot of timber land. I've heard of people buying land and letting the companies harvest some trees to fund the payoff for the property. Haven't been able to find much on this. Thoughts?

Hey @Jacob Stewart, as a retired Camp Director who lived on the same lake you do, I have some experience here on managing land with plenty of timber. Talk to Idaho Forest Products or Stimson Lumber. They will send out the Forester and do a free analysis for you and for anyone that owns 10 acres or more. The answer to the question they will tell you is it will depend on the timber market and what your goals are for forest management.
