It was nice when you said that the information about the trees’ diameters and heights are used to estimate the value of timber in each product class. My father mentioned that he wanted one of his properties to be a good source of timber for his needs in the future. I will share this with him so he can consider hiring a forestry consultant that could help him understand the process of harvesting timber.

In reply to Levi Armstrong. Hey Levi! The way cruising works, they don't have to measure every single tree. Instead, they take measurements of specific trees within a certain plot and use a scientific equation to determine the volume of the entire stand. They have found the results to be very accurate!

It’s interesting to know that there’s such a thing called timber cruising where a group of professionals would check each tree and class it as to the product it would be merchandised. My friend, Jerald, recently bought an 80-hectare land that he plans to turn into a timber farm. I’ll share this with him and encourage he hires a timber management service.
