Start To Finish

Seaboard Timber Company was the first company in the country to do itall—buy its own timber, debark and chip hardwood on site, deliver the finished clean hardwood chips to the mill and supervise the reforestation of the client’s land.

Turn Key Operation

We cruise, evaluate, market, harvest and oversee the replanting of your tract of timber. Timberlands at this stage bring a rate of return equal to a one percent certificate of deposit. Whole tree chippers leave the land ready for reforestation. Reforested timberlands bring a rate of return equal to a ten percent certificate of deposit. Let us take a look at your tracts of timber. We have, on our staff, a licensed real estate broker and we buy land, as well as standing timber.

Reforestation

Reforestation is a natural process, occurring as a result of land clearing.  After forest fires or other natural disasters, nature has a way of regenerating itself. With proper management, timber harvesting and artificial replanting can benefit the environment, while at the same time they provide a cash crop for the owner of the land. Over 80 percent of the land tracts harvested by Seaboard Timber are artificially replanted–reforested.

A replanted stand of pine can be thinned in approximately 15 years.  For maximum growth, the thinning process tries to achieve 108 trees per acre as soon as possible. Reforestation assures a future income to the landowner and to future generations.
