Brandon Bal, Region Manager in Houghton, MI, and Larry Heathman, District and Wood Flow Manager in Houghton, MI, check out a recently completed red pine thinning on an approximately 60-year-old stand in Northern Wisconsin. They discussed the timing of the thinning and how long to allow the remaining trees to grow before making any additional land management decisions, taking into account current and anticipated timber markets. Having a land manager on your side who has intimate knowledge of local timber markets is essential, and our team is ready to help!

You just bought 100 acres. Now what?

Would you build a cabin tucked back in the woods? Create the ultimate hunting property? Start a farm? Manage it for timber? Stock a pond and spend weekends fishing with family?

One of the best things about owning land is that no two properties, and no two owners, have the same vision.

So, if you had 100 acres, what would you do with it first?
