Wanabe you need to look into that in detail you are only able to sell half of the projected growth and if you over sell their are penalties and payments to be paid back. You need a fri inventory for the forest. On a plot survey of established plots to get the information you need. Everything is documented dead wood and all. The company I trap for just established 300 permanent plots on their land this summer. They will be verified by another company before they can start selling credits and be redone in 5 years to get growth results.
I’m not sure how this will work to be honest. It’s already in a Tall Timber Trust. This land can NEVER be developed. If sold it has to remain as is and right now it’s a private Quail Plantation. It was surveyed and drawn up in such a way that the owner had to pick a spot if he ever wants to build another house on it or put in other ponds. No new roads whatsoever other than existing roads. Certain parts of the property can be mowed and others have to be chopped. Certain areas can’t be touched.
It’s a lot of rules and regulations, but it’s good to know that it will always remain as is. At one point it was to be sold and I told the manager I’d have to take another route home if someone bought it and developed it, because I just couldn’t drive by it and see it not in it’s natural state. I’ve only been a part of the place for 7-8 years now, but I have too many memories to see something happen to it. It’s not my place, but I treat it as it is. According to the owner and manager, that’s why I have a key and 24/7 access.
