I will try to explain myself better as some readers seem to be missing my point: forester's are just as guilty as the logging contractor's that they hire. They could very easily find a local logging contractor to operate a local project. Most landowner's (after) they do a timber harvest find it hardly worth it by the time they pay taxes on the timber 10% to the state of nh another 20% capital gain's and yet another 20% for a consulting forester wow 50% gone! This doesn't seem very fair.

This is where the local recommended loggers come's in. He will take the time to cut the log's to grade with his chainsaw not some mechanical device that just wack's the log's off where ever just ask a local saw mill where the best grade log's come from they will undoubtly tell you that log's cut to grade by a man with a chainsaw. Chosing a qualified logger you can save the 20% that a consulting forester charge's just get references ! The larger co. do not take the time to do any of this they just need to fill quota's ! Don't fall for the forester trying to sell you on the slash thing as i previously mentioned leaving the slash in the wood's is not only the best method for the forest it benefit's the wildlife especially the deer during the long winter month's.

Bottom line local logger's will spend money at local business's, pay taxes locally that benefit our school's and local business's and if there is a problem you won't have to go to Maine to find them ! Please think before you ink !!
