Passing Down the Family Forest: Succession Planning for NC Landowners

Quick answer: Only about 30% of family forestland survives to the second generation, and 12% to the third. Without a written succession plan, land often becomes "heirs' property," jointly owned by multiple descendants with no one able to make decisions about it. North Carolina landowners can get a free succession consultation through NC FarmLink.

How to Salvage Storm-Damaged Timber in North Carolina

Quick answer: Sawtimber and veneer trees need to come out within 4 to 6 weeks of storm damage before blue-stain fungus sets in, while pulpwood can wait 8 to 12 months. Don’t salvage an entire tract if less than 20% of it is damaged, since trees with intact root systems often recover on their own. Call a professional forester before you cut anything.

🌲💰 Before you sell your timber, do you know what it’s actually worth?

Getting a knock on your door from a timber buyer might feel like a lucky break, but selling without a timber cruise is like selling your house without an appraisal—you’re negotiating blind against professionals.

A timber cruise is the most important step a landowner can take before a harvest. It gives you an accurate inventory of your timber’s volume, quality, and market value, ensuring you don't leave money on the table.

In our latest blog post, we break down what a timber cruise actually tells you and why it’s the key to running a competitive, profitable sale. Don't guess at your timber's value—know it.
