[Pete Collin]

Hello All,

Last week I met with a client who had a woodlot owner's worst nightmare.

Very educational, great post. I have my land in the NY Forestry Program also.

Hope you keep these posts coming

That was a very instructive video, thank you!  I'm in the program as well, and I hate our district assessor.

nicely done video. When I was a forester for the state, we had thousands of acres destroyed by the  1995 blowdown. Just were getting it taken care of when the 1998 ice storm dealt us another blow. Very discouraging for our guys that had nurtured these forests for their whole career to see a lot of their  work destroyed.

What Region did you work in?  Have we met?

This property isn't in  the 480-a.  Some folks manage their land outside of the state program.  I believe woodlot management is intrinsically worth doing as a long term investment as long as you have fertile ground and a decent stocking of timber.

Pete- I worked out of the Lowville office Region 6. Your name seemed familiar but I can't remember when we might have crossed paths. I retired in 2003, worked part time for TNC, and do a few consulting jobs.
