Greetings fellow woodburners....
I need some recommendations for developing a simple forestry management plan at my place in Southern NH. I've got 50 heavily wooded acres: red oak, white oak, maple, ash, birch, pine, poplar, etc. Mostly hardwood with some nice pine spots here and there.
My concerns are about the Asian Longhorned Beetle, Emerald Ash Borer. How far north have those stupid creatures made it?
Who should I contact about coming out to my place to educate me on what trees to remove for: firewood, milling, furniture building, etc?
Any help would be appreciated. I just bought my place in January and I don't think anything has been done to the land for at least 30 years. I'd prefer not to let anything go to waste.
