The crew moved in yesterday to start thinning the approximately 45 acres of plantation pine on my 217 acres in East Texas. These pines were thinned at about 12/15 years old before I bought the place. They should be about 18/21 years old now. We're taking the pulp wood, chipping saw, and I have a moderate amount of saw logs on the backside of the place that we'll be taking also. I was surprised at how much sweet gum that would make pulpwood as we don't go into the woods much. Surprising how fast they grow !
Im gonna try my best to do a controlled burn next winter on the plantation portion and would welcome anyone's input on this. I have a general idea, but I could use some insight from someone who's actually done it. Thanks !
