Thank you , Mr Hagan. We want to be responsible woodlot managers, and plan to use the wood only for heating a single residence on the property.

Some of what you need to know will depend on your location. I would also check with the local extension agent, your state forestry dept or dept of natural resources and state forestry assns.

If you are also interested in improving wildlife habitat you may be able to get assistance and expertise from wildlife groups such as Pheasants Forever, Ruffed Grouse Society, deer hunting groups, etc, etc.
