Good Morning Kirk,

I know this will be shocking, but the government can make a lot of money selling timber.

Done correctly, a management plan insures more board feet into the future.

Simply cutting in fire lanes pulls a lot of trees out of a woods.

Federal lands are often logged here in Texas as well as state owned land.

It is resource conservation that yields more assets over the longer run.

Perhaps California should adopt Wisconsin's laws regarding trees and their planting/growth.

Wisconsin's original tree law was called : Forest Crop Law | Wisconsin DNR

dnr.wisconsin.gov › topic › forestlandowners

The Forest Crop Law (FCL) is a landowner incentive program that encourages long-term, sustainable management of private woodlands. In exchange for following an FCL management schedule outlining forest practices, the landowner pays reduced property taxes. The FCL program was enacted in 1927 and enrollment was closed on Jan. 1, 1986.

It has now expired and been replaced with : Managed Forest Law | Wisconsin DNR

dnr.wisconsin.gov › topic › forestlandowners

The Managed Forest Law (MFL) program is a landowner incentive program that encourages sustainable forestry on private woodland. In exchange for following sound forest management, the landowner pays reduced property taxes. It was enacted in 1985 and replaced the Woodland Tax Law and the Forest Crop Law.

To enhance state receipts they have now begun taxing at favorable rates (very high vs the FCL) annually and foregone the percent take of the stumpage when harvested.

The new law is a 25 year plan that I re-enrolled the land in around 2005. I hope I make it to have renew it again. <smile>

In tree farms that are called (plantation style) the trees are planted in nice straight rows. The distance is the same between the trees in each row.

When I was about 15, my Dad and I replanted about 40 acres that had been burned (by unattended garbage burning down the road). Dad drove the tractor and I planted the seedlings. The rear wheel of the planter had a bell on it. With each rotation the bell would ring and that timed slinging the seedlings roots into the ground that was opened up by a big sod cutting wheel and some plow furrows. Then in the back two wheels pushed the sod back together around the seedlings roots. The state makes the planter available.

The State of Wisconsin has had a huge success in encouraging individual landowners to plant trees.

There is now talk of tree farmers also being eligible to sell carbon credits to industries needing to reduce their carbon foot print. That would be great to have some annual revenue, to help pay the taxes on the property.
