Hello Steve,

Thanks you for your questions.  Without being able to walk your land with your and understand your long term goals, it is hard to make specific recommendation.  I would recommend talking to a forester though.  He or she can provide good advice that is specific to the conditions on your land to help you achieve your goals.  If you don't have a forester, you can use the Forester Directory to find one near you. 

We also have some helpful content around Choosing a Consulting Forester and Finding and Hiring a Consulting Forester.  Before meeting with a forester, it would be good to have a map of your land and take some time setting your goals.  That will help ensure your meeting with the forester is productive and you get the recommendations you need.

cheers,
