[QUOTE="Jarred525, post: 1212707, member: 4794"] Great Info Camp, thanks. I have some nice ash trees so that make me feel pretty good. Since this post I had actually spoke with someone at the division of forestry (they came out to do a timber plan on my place for greenbelt). He had told me the same thing that they could be valuable depending on market conditions. O.K. Here is the list as I see it based on input thus far. Please feel free to add input. Thanks all. Please note that when I say it has timber value that is not based on present market conditions necessarily but potential based on past market conditions. Wildlife and Timber Value Oak Persimmon Cherry Hickory Pine Cedar Wildlife Only Beech Fruit Chestnut Timber Only Walnut (Although Squirrels Like Them) Poplar Maple Ash One other note. Last year we were able to cut about 30 Mature Walnuts ourselves. W eknew the market was good at the time for them. We hired a guy to come in with a skidder one Saturday for about 6 hours to pull them out. We had 3 folks bid on them. Net income came to about 12K. Was great spending money for some cabin repairs and other land improvements. Hope to do it again next year if any timber has value. Saved us a bunch of money but found out quick that timber guys earn their keep! [/QUOTE]
