  • Join Jason on an adventure as he explores his brand-new 20-acre property in Western Washington - without fully knowing what he bought! In this video, Jason demonstrates some essential forestry skills, including how to measure trees, set up sample plots, and conduct a quick timber cruise. These practical techniques can help landowners assess the timber they have, understand its value, and make informed decisions for long-term forest management.
    Throughout the video, Jason shares insights on how these timber plots provide critical data that shapes his management plans. From evaluating tree size and species to projecting future harvest potential, Jason outlines the key steps that can help landowners like you preserve and enhance your forest for future generations.
    Whether you’re a new landowner, forestry enthusiast, or just curious about sustainable forest management, this video is packed with tips and know-how to get you started on understanding and managing your own timber resources.

    As a previous Teaching Assistant to the Forest Mensuration class down at the OSU College of Forestry, I approve of this video! Nice work.

    ALWAYS "learn somethin' " from your videos!! Great content and EXPLANATION of basic things we may have heard before. Like, deciduous trees falling to make room for evergreens. One of my friends (In eastern NC) just used some "store bought" Western Red Cedar to repair some rotted window frames. Very EXPENSIVE here!! Your kids and grandkids + future generations will be GRATEFUL for your "green" investment many years down the road!! Thanks, Jason!!

    You said around 07:14 that plot number 2 was probably heavy seeded and that could be why the diameter of the trees being same age as the others.
    The diameter could also be smaller because under the top soil could be solid stone. So, roots are competing for root space. Nutrients in the soil also play a factor growing anything.
    I like when I see a person who knows how to replant and which trees you can legally harvest.
    Those Cedars are a great choice for mining timbers. They are strong and they smell good and also work as a bug repellant.
    My YT Notifications was showing "S&J Forest Products" and I said to myself when did I subscribe to that channel? Then I see Jason at the beginning of the video. Not often seeing videos on this channel b/c Jason is involved in so many things.
    Was another "learn something new every day" thing.

    OG Englander here LOL Can you explain why you want the ducidius to die out and evergreen replace them? I understand as a generalisation that EG trees are quicker growing and a "more useable" comodity ? thanks Mike Kent England, UK

    What's the economics on a property like that? Maybe you could explain that.
    What can you cut. What can't you cut. What are the taxes. Is it a lease? Etc.
    I guess the goal is to harvest timber but be a good Stuart so the property doesn't lose value.
