Timber Strategy & Harvesting
FAM advises on timber strategy and harvesting for forestry owners who need value-led decisions. We consider standing timber, crop maturity, market conditions, sales strategy, access, infrastructure, operational delivery and restocking implications.
Value-led harvesting decisions
Harvesting should be guided by crop condition, biological maturity, access, market conditions, operational constraints and the owner’s wider cashflow and portfolio strategy.
FAM helps owners test whether a harvesting plan is commercially and silviculturally justified, and how it affects restocking, infrastructure and future asset value.
Timber within the portfolio
Standing timber is both a biological asset and a source of potential income. Strategy should consider sales route, timing, extraction cost, road infrastructure, market access, age-class structure and the consequences for future rotations.
