Our ground got hit by a tornado in May. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but we had about $40,000 worth of timber hit the ground. We didn' t want to, but we had to have a logging company come in because there were so many hangers that the woods were just plain dangerous. Anyway, long-story short, now that the logging is done, I' m sure that the place is a bigger mess than when they started (The hangers are all down, however. If you do contract with a timber company, be very specific in your contract about what will be taken and what clean-up will involve. If you don' t need the money, though, I just simply wouldn' t do it at all.
