You got some good advice except on the 'Professional Forrester' some of them are fine but many are in with the loggers and are just as crooked as the loggers can be.The most honest small logger in my area cuts all the logs drags them into an open area sorts them by species,size etc then gets bids on them from the mills around.He will show the landowner all the bids and then they make a decision on who to sell to.Says he'll probably get 20% more over just hauling each load to a mill.As far as the tops he'll bring in his chipper and chip them but the landowner won't get much out of it because of the expense he has and the places to sell the chips don't pay much.Personally clear cutting is the way to go in my opinion.No matter how careful the logger is a lot of damage happens to smaller trees when the big trees are cut and unsalable big trees are left because there is no financial reason to cut them.Pulp guys don't care what they look like.
