In this case, two out of the three trees
that the forester selected as crop trees were actually released by the
logger. The released trees are very easy to find. Just look for large
patches of sunlight on the forest floor.
The landowner did realize some profit per acre from
this improvement cut.
Total value harvested per acre: $1160 *
- Sawtimber: 3100 board feet = $1069
- Pulpwood: 5 cords = $91
