Selling Walnut Trees on 2-acre Lot

[Post a Follow Up] [Post to this category]
From: Shirley Lee City: Viola, IL
I have recently moved into a 2 acre place that has black walnut trees and I would like to have at least 10 or more removed. I have been told that I could sell them and the wood is in demand. Is that true, if yes, what is my next step? Look for a consultant forester? I appreciate any information. Thank you, Shirley

Greetings Shirley: Yes -- assuming of course a potential timber buyer has unimpeded physical access to the trees (no fences, structures, landscaping, etc.) and assuming the trees are large enough and of appropriate quality to spark a timber buyer's interest. In order to assist you with the answers to the questions above, please contact a professional consulting forester using the U of I Extension Forestry link below: http://web.extension.illinois.edu/forestry/pdf/tfb-nres-202.pdf Best of Luck!
