This area of Texas is naturally bare, the reason their are trees at all is because of a stream that is steadily drying up, something is killing the trees, on the road frontage alone there are 15 dead standing trees. I only want to finish off the old trees to open up the canopy and start to turn the land back to a healthy forest. As for the property value IT IS AT ROCK BOTTOM. I can't imagine a property in worse condition, its natural aspects are destroyed by neglect, and the buildings have been torn up by vandals and littered across at least 3 acres of the property. Though I can understand that if someone says they wanna strip the bulk of the old growth trees off their land that this puts a bad image up, these trees are going to die soon, might as well plan the destruction and reap what I can. Selling it isnt gonna happen at least not for many years, sometimes thats just how it is, sad as it may be.

It'd be great if I could sell it... but:

-the waters on a co-op and theirs a $4,000 bill that will roll over on any land sells

-the power lines been red tagged or whatever, so no electricity without another large sum of money

-there's an abandoned mobile home thats been destroyed, anybody that buys is gonna need/want that removed

-the place is surrounded with trailer trash, so any buyer who builds home will be a sore thumb with no property value

-theirs a decease attacking the trees, and the forest is incredibly over crowded

So I figure if I could find a logging company I'd both help the forest restart and rejuvenate, and also make some money. But I will repost in the forestry, because until a very good reason is presented other than money, logging won't give me the most money, but my inclination is that it will be easier.

I live in DFW but the property is 10 miles outside fort worth.

As for cutting it myself I would in a new york minute if I had the capabilities. First off I'm not sure how anybody would every go about cutting down some of the 6 to 7 foot diameter giants out here, not to mention bad chainsaw experiences: one tree I was cutting thru ripped my chain off and it shot back out, lucky I jumped.

But more info on any spectrum would be much appreciated!

Long story short I was given (yes to good to be true) some land in north Texas where trees are far and few between. As such it follows that logging companies are too. Didnt matter much at first, I thought this opportunity was great finally some land to do what I want, well it's a money pit. I just got out of the hospital for something that happened from the land, so here I am trying to think of something I can do to make some money. With all the trees that the property has I figure I can get it logged, but my problem is there's nobody I can find to do it, so here I am looking for anybody who can help me get the placed select cut. I called a few places, whos numbers where nearly impossible to find, and to no avail, I'm thinking because this area of Texas is naturally barren. But I know with all the 150-200 year old post oaks that theres money growing from that forest floor, which is why I'm so desprit to get it select cut, and get out.
