Private.Forest Help Request #946893

Asked October 11, 2026, 8:57 AM EDT

Hello, I have a question about forest management on my personal property in Barnstead. I have fifteen acres, twelve of which is a mixture of hard and soft wood. I need to have some of it thinned out to allow other trees to grow and hopefully remove some unwanted bittersweet. I believe it would cost me thousands of dollars to do it right and I was just wondering if you folks had any ideas to reduce that cost. Thank you.
