Hi there. I recently purchased some raw land, mostly wooded. I'm looking to put a cabin up and I'd like to clear maybe 5 or so acres (possibly more).
My question is... should I have it clear cut (logged) or just cleared (bulldozed)? Are there certain advantages/disadvantages to either option? Obviously, if I get it clear cut, I can sell the timber and that would make me money, but if I just clear it, then the timber isn't any good, and so it costs me money. But will the clear cutting, it leaves stumps behind. I'm trying to find a picture of land that has been clear cut so I can see what that looks like. Does anyone have any?
Also, does clear cut land just grow right back in a few years? Or is that true of cleared land as well?
Any help is well appreciated. Thanks.
