FORESTRY CONSULTING AND COACHING
Growing trees for profit
Friday Creek Timber has experience in highly profitable, small to medium scale farm forestry. Between 2000 and 2003, Glenn surveyed over 200 private grower plantations in SE Qld. Of those, only a handful were growing trees of sufficient quality for a future timber harvest.
Make sure you are setting your forest on a path toward sufficient health, vigour and quality to make your forest meet your expectations.
We can get you to prioritise your silvicultural actions, and to find out the mechanisms for success.
Most significantly we look at:
species/genetic selection
forest establishment
weed control
thinning
harvesting
processing
marketing
SMALL SCALE TIMBER HARVESTING
Selecting a tree, felling, snigging, milling
High quality trees are selected. These are carefully felled and removed to enable a sustainable harvest. Hand processing ensures quality timber is produced.
SEED COLLECTION AND NURSERY
Know the quality of your tubestock
We can show you how to collect seed and build a small scale, low maintenance tube-stock nursery, should you wish to grow your own plantation from scratch.
