RE: Just a thought
You wouldn't believe the number of clients and landowners I run into that won't spend a little money on burning, fertilizing or herbicide spraying. All of them think some fairy dust will magically appear for free that will make their lousy stands of timber look like a park. They gripe and refuse to sign contracts for pulpwood grade thinnings because they think the price is too low and won't believe you when you tell them that the timber will stunt and that the percentage of future sawtimber investment return will be greatly diminished. Almost any kind of timber management action will improve the wildlife habitat.
