Field days often reveal more than what’s on the map. Recently, our foresters wrapped up a timber check cruise on scattered parcels in SW Oregon. Our role was to audit contractor cruise data and revisit plots to identify any potential discrepancies.
One of the standout discoveries was a substantial natural rock pit on the property. While timber may be the primary asset under evaluation, access to an on-site rock source can be incredibly valuable, especially when considering the cost savings associated with road work, maintenance, and eliminating the need to haul material from off-site locations.
Our team also had the chance to see an impressive example of a healthy, well-stocked tree plantation, around 12 years old and thriving. It’s always rewarding to see the long-term results of strong forest management practices.
