Harvest
Contract Administration
It would be impossible to anticipate all of the situations that might
arise during the administration of a timber-harvesting contract, but
this section is intended to inform you of some of the most common situations
to ensure that your interests are fully protected when harvesting timber.
If you have chosen to work with a professional consulting forester to
assist with administration of a timber-harvesting contract, this section
can also give you some tools to evaluate the services provided by competing
forestry-consulting services. This will ensure that you hire a forester
who will protect your interests well. Most of the situations described
in this section have some impacts on the efficiency of logging operations,
so any related contract provisions should be provided when soliciting
bids for stumpage.
