From time to time this year, I will post blogs regarding my personal experiences as a Maine landowner. Instead of generalities regarding land ownership being hurled at you, my “stories” will be actual accounts espousing actual benefits that I am deriving from my property. Perhaps these accounts will spur readers to take action and join in on this unique aspect of Americana; the right for anyone to own land. These posts will be categorized under MY LAND.
Today, however, I want to bring to your attention a great article that I came across a week or so ago. It reinforces many of the same benefits that I have been writing about the past year regarding land ownership; in particular, timberland. I realize that this article is written about the traditional large timberland holdings in the US; nonetheless, the principles apply to smaller woodlot owners as well.
If you have any doubts, put this ad in the classifieds, “WANTED: SOMEONE TO CUT MY WOODLOT”. Your phone will be ringing off the hook. The competition for stumpage in Maine is fierce. Your timberland is worth more than you think.
