Their list is provided by the state board of licensure for foresters and the individual foresters can then add information on the services they offer. We chose someone who'd been in business locally for many years, and would take care of finding the right logger for the job, and would take care of all the permits and reporting to the town for the timber tax. They paid us for the logs and pulpwood and when it was all done, they sent the town the paperwork showing how much was harvested (we got a copy and I double-checked it with our payment slips) and the town sent us a bill for the tax owed. This is in NH of course - if you are in another state, procedures may be different, but checking with cooperative extension is a good starting point. <br /> <br /> Karen

I have 2 acres to clear. Thank you, I am enjoying your blog! http://birchtreefarm.com/weblog/index.php/2009/07/28/clearing-for-pasture#c989 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:19:46 +0000 Dad [Visitor] c856@http://birchtreefarm.com/weblog/ Knowing what the property looks like, I can't wait to see more pics of the progress leading to completion. http://birchtreefarm.com/weblog/index.php/2009/07/28/clearing-for-pasture#c856
