Forest Economics
Timber is a long term investment. Forest land, as other investments, requires a professional opinion. A properly managed forest can reduce the time period for timber to reach merchantable size.
The demand for saw timber will greatly increase in the near future. A forestry consultant can maximize the volume, and increase the value of your standing timber by creating a competitive market. The North Carolina Forest Service has performed investment studies on timber land versus savings bonds and savings accounts. They found that a typical forestry investment after twenty-five years will often yield three times higher than that of a savings account or bond. It has also been proven by the forest service that landowners who use professional foresters in their management activities gain 40% more in their revenue over time as opposed to those who do not use foresters.
