Need to Find a Forester

[Post a Follow Up] [Post to this category]
From: Mike Hoff City: Janesville, WI
We have a 20 acre wood plot near Forreston, Il that needs to have some timber culled. There is alot of big oak and many other varieties of wood that can be thinned out. Where do we start to get this done?

Greetings Mike, Actually, who you need is a professional forester - not a logger. A list of professional consulting foresters may be viewed at http://dnr.state.il.us/conservation/forestry/CONSULTING_FORESTERS_06.pdf In addition, you may also contact your local DNR forester to discuss forest management options on your forest land: http://dnr.state.il.us/conservation/forestry/DISTFRSTMAP.pdf This should allow you to get the ball rolling! Cheers, Jay
