Since 2001, Chris Polk of Greensboro, GA has been acquiring land in order to preserve the timber in the state of Georgia. AgForest of Georgia is happy to announce the acquisition of 81 acres in Hancock County. With each piece of land that AgForest acquires the goal remains the same, and that is the commitment to helping clients get the most for their timber.
The land in Hancock County will undergo a Second Thinning cut. A second thinning takes place 5-7 years after the first thinning. This process is done to ensure that the timber is in the best conditions to mature. When there is no thinning process performed the growth of timber becomes stagnant and the value also becomes diminished.
AgForest can perform a wide range of cuts depending on what the landowner’s needs may be. Along with performing the cuts, AgForest also contributes to the Wildlife Management on the land. Many landowners tend to neglect the wildlife when they decide what type of cut they want performed. One of the most productive uses of timber is to create and maintain wildlife habitats. A pre-harvest plan should always be performed prior to any cuts being made. The pre-harvest plan will take in account for the factors that could ultimately affect the forest, like wildlife.
It is important to remember that harvesting timber is not the removal of the forest, but rather the regeneration or renewal of the forest that will last for generations. AgForest is always in search of new properties to add to our portfolio. Landowners can see for themselves the type of jobs that Polk has performed in the past by going to the website and viewing the portfolio. AgForest provides services that include 1st Thinning, 2nd Thinning, Shelterwood Cut, Real Estate Cut, Clear Cut, Seed Tree Harvest, and Timber Planting.
