Help Assessing Black Walnut Trees

[Post a Follow Up] [Post to this category]
From: Caroline Kysely City: Waukesha, WI
We own a farm in Springfield, IL, and think that there are some black walnut trees on the farm land that we would like to farm. We would like to find someone that can identify these trees to see if they are black walnut. Also if they are, do you have a source for harvesting and sale of the lumber.

Hi Caroline: Here are your two best options: 1) Contact your local IL Dept. of Natural Resources district forester http://dnr.state.il.us/conservation/forestry/Documents/DistrictForestersMap.pdf 2) Contact a professional consulting forester to assist you with your request http://web.extension.illinois.edu/forestry/pdf/tfb-nres-202-13.pdf
