Woodland owners are encouraged to attend a “Marketing Timber” workshop from 7 until 9 p.m. on Aug. 29. The event will be held at the Granville County Expo and Convenion Center and is co-sponsored by the N.C. Forestry Service and N.C. Cooperative Extension.
For most woodland owners, a timber sale is a once- (or twice) in-a-lifetime event. With such limited experience, it can often be difficult to be certain that the price is fair and that the harvest is conducted properly.
At this workshop, woodland owners will get advice from the experts on how to navigate the process successfully. Presenters will include a forestry specialist (Dr. Robert Bardon, NCSU Extension Forestry); a woodland owner (Preston Floyd, 2017’s N.C. Tree Farmer of the Year); and a Registered Consulting Forester.
The Granville County Expo and Convention Center is located at 4185 Highway 15 South in Oxford.
