Learn more about the Call Before You Cut program

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is granting funds to the Missouri Consulting Foresters Association (MCFA) for the reimbursement of a portion of expenses involved in consulting foresters servicing requests for timber sale assistance under the "callb4ucut" program (www.callb4ucut.com). Owners of Missouri forest land who are interested in professional assistance in the sale of their timber can call MDC at (1-877-564-7483) for a packet of information and, if interested, can be referred to a professional consulting forester. Timber sales are financial in nature and using a professional forester has its benefits.

These benefits include:

• Learn if harvesting is right for your forest stands.
• Maximize timber income and save on taxes.
• Harvest to increase the quality and health of your trees and add value to the forest.
• Create a healthy forest for future generations.
• Find the best logger for the job.
