Get the most out of your timber

BEARDSTOWN, Ill. — Illinois woodland owners have sold over $250 million worth of timber over the last decade. The bad news: Illinois woodland owners are underselling their timber by millions of dollars every year!

If you would like to find out how to manage your timber to get the most out of it with the least tax liability, you will want to attend a U of I Extension Timber Sales and Marketing Seminar. The seminar will be held from 9 to noon, February 4 at the Lincoln Land Community College regional center, 109 White Pine Lane in Beardstown.

Extension State Forester Jay Hayek will discuss how to market your timber, how to properly conduct a timber sale, how to involve a professional forester, and how to guarantee you more income and more timber sales over your land ownership tenure!

Registration is required, and seating is limited to 35 registrants! Cost is $10 per person. Deadline for registration is February 2nd.
