Organising a sale of standing timber

The 2026 February 12 - Spontin

Objective

Selling wood is the culmination of decades of silvicultural care. How can you make the most of this work and your wood while preserving the productive potential of your plot? This is the question that Nicolas Henryot, a professional manager with Experts Forestiers de Belgique, will answer. We will follow the process of selling timber, from hammering in the forest and drawing up the catalogue to actually harvesting the timber and checking the site, including identifying the exit routes and other harvesting constraints, drawing up the specifications with their general and special conditions, sending your catalogue to potential buyers, examining bids and even payment, guarantees and compensation for delays or damage.
