How to Know When it’s Time to Harvest Timber on Forest Land

How to know when it is time to harvest your timber on forest land.  If you are managing forest land with the intention to harvest the timber at some point, it’s good to know when the best time is to harvest it. On my forest land I have a lot of Douglas fir. In recent years I am starting to see much of it is ready to be harvested. I will go over how I have decided it is time to start doing more logging and sell these logs to the commercial lumber mills. I do have a Woodmizer LT15 sawmill. I could mill some of it up myself, but there is much more timber here than I can or want to mill. I will also show why in some areas, the timber is not ready to be harvested. There are reasons why that timber should be left to grow.
