Stop Trespassing:
Suggestions from the Chief
Matt Weathers
is the Law Enforcement Section Chief at the
Alabama Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources. Trespassing is an ever-present concern
for forest landowners. Trespassers can cause problems from annoyance to
outright damage or theft. We asked Chief Weathers to speak with us about the
always-timely topic of deterring trespassers--safely and legally--on private
forest lands.

Delaying a Timber Sale Can Ease the Tax
Burden for Heirs
Dr.
Patrick Hiesl is Assistant Professor of Forest Operations at
Clemson
University. He has research and extension projects with industrial and
private forest owners surrounding timber harvesting activities and its
impacts on taxes, productivity, cost, and water quality. We asked Dr. Hiesl
to talk to us about the option of delaying final harvests of mature timber
to pass on the benefit of a stepped-up timber basis to the next generation
of forest owners. In some cases, simply delaying the sale can be "the
same as receiving approximately 30 percent more for the timber."

Updated Predictions for Global Timber Markets in
2020
Pete Stewart
is the Founder, President, and CEO of
Forest2Market,
an organization that "provides market price data, supply chain expertise and
other decision support services to participants in the forest, wood and
paper products, recovered fiber and bioenergy industries." Back in January,
we read Pete's article "10
Predictions for Global Forest Markets." Since then, the COVID-19
coronavirus and resulting stock market changes made us wonder: What, if
anything, would Pete change about his predictions for 2020 considering the
events that unfolded after his article?
