Whats it worth?

[Venkman]

Hi all I have 7 acres of wood 90% hardwood that has been unmanaged for about the last 20 years.

 

Im looking to start to tidy the place up now and there is alot of dead and dying wood to come out plus a general thinning is needed of some younger stuff.

 

Access is by tractor trailer due to a stream that has to be gone through but the site is not steep and presents no real extraction problems.

 

What would be the best way to sell the timber felled and stacked? standing?

 

what sort of price should I be looking at roughly per ton/meter?

 

Thanks

Type of timber/lengths and thicknesses?

Type of timber/lengths and thicknesses?

 

mixture of oak, ash and silver birch.

 

Some of the bigger oaks will be 100 years old most of the silver birch about 35 years old. nothing particular straight or nice.

 

Thanks
