I’d like to harvest several trees on my property – what are my options?
  • If you are planning to sell the timber, there are two options for harvesting trees that depend on your future goals for the property. If you will replant trees after harvest and continue to manage the land as forest for at least 6 years, you can obtain a permit from the Department of Natural Resources.

If you intend to develop some or all of the property with another use after harvest, you can obtain a permit from Cowlitz County. Contact a Planner to discuss the permit process.
