Whats the value for clearing wind blown trees in a plantation

[combined tree services]

so what roughly would you offer for it ? i really aint got a clue lmao

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Mewtons at Camelford were crying out for Douglas last time I was there...

 

See if you can get away with offering £2 a ton for it! Or am I way out there? Last time I quoted the FC for hardwoods £8 just about won it... So you've got less valuable wood in a flippin mess to try to sell afterwards...

There is craploads of terminology to aquaint oneself with:

 

Try this lot without cheating!

 

Define:

 

1) DBH - at what height?

2) Sawlog?

3) Bar?

4) Pulpwood?

5) Granny?

6) Green tonne?

7) Nurse?

8) Overbark / Underbark?

9) p year?

10) Stand?

11) Stocking density?

12) Stumpage?

13) Butt rot?

14) Green logs and Red Logs

15) Parcel?

 

All pretty much irrelevant if for firewood!!!

When i first saw this i thought £3 a cube. You'd probally win it at that. £6-8 quid you be picking up some rather nice standing hardwoods for that.
