Subject: How to Sell Your Timber Workshop — Thursday — February 12 — 7
pm — Pittsboro

A How to Sell Your Timber Workshop will be held on Thursday, February 12, at 7:00 pm.  The workshop will be in the auditorium downstairs in the County Agriculture Building in Pittsboro.  The workshop is being conducted by the Chatham County Center of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service.

Learning from experience can be very expensive when it comes to timber sales, many of which are once or twice in a lifetime occurrences. Years of growth and value are accumulated in a mature timber stand, and the combined annual income from all those years is frequently marketed in a single transaction. When and how you sell your timber can influence how much money you make, your overall financial plans, the cost of forest regeneration, and other management objectives.  Too much is at stake for you to sell timber without an understanding of the timber selling process.
Robert Bardon, Forestry Extension Department Leader at North Carolina State University; will give the presentation from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.  The presentation will include how timber is bought and sold, fair market value, how to find the appropriate timber buyers, what trees to sell and why,  current timber market price trends, and how to get advise from a professional forester.

The registration fee will be $5.00 per person in advance or at the door.  Please call Jane Tripp, Extension Secretary, at 542-8202 to pre-register.  The fee includes workshop materials, advertising, and refreshments.  Make checks payable to: Chatham County Cooperative Extension.  Mail to: Cooperative Extension, PO Box 279, Pittsboro, NC 27312-0279.
