 The
Cersosimo Lumber Company Forestry & Woodlands staff is responsible
for the
procurement of 50 million feet of sawlogs annually. We buy
all species native to the northeast with an emphasis on the northern
hardwoods. Red Oak is of primary importance and currently
makes up our largest volume of hardwood purchases. Other
predominant species include Sugar Maple, Yellow Birch, Ash, Red
Maple, White Birch, Beech and Basswood. The hardwood consumption
of the Cersosimo sawmills is approximately 25 million board feet
annually. Our softwood procurement program is devoted exclusively
to Eastern White Pine, of which we are buying upwards of 15 million
board feet annually.
We
purchase timber from private landowners, municipalities, state
forests and watersheds throughout New England and eastern New
York. We have a long history of successful operations in the Green
Mountain and White Mountain National Forests. We have extensive
experience building logging roads and bridges. Our logging activities
can be relied on to meet or exceed the highest standards and requirements
of local, state and federal agencies.
Our
Forestry & Woodlands staff brings a combined 185 years of
practical experience to the job. Additionally, each member
of our staff is fully accredited and is required to participate
in a regular program of continuing education. Our staff is
actively involved in forestry discussion and policymaking at the
state and local levels. Members
of our staff are currently serving on local conservation commissions,
the NH Forest Advisory Board, the New England Society of American
Foresters (NH representative), the Board of Directors of the New
Hampshire Timberland Owners Assoc., the NH Timber Harvesting Council,
the Board of Directors of the Northeast Loggers Assoc., the Maine
Hardwood Council and the Connecticut Forest Advisory Board.
Our
Forestry & Woodlands staff is fully prepared and qualified
to work with any of the many different entities, both large and
small, within the forestry community; non-industrial landowners
with questions about the management of their woodlands and ways
of achieving their long-term goals; timber owners and other members
of the logging industry who have questions about the constantly
changing market for their sawlogs; truckers who are looking
for a strong and steady market for the independent loggers they
might be hauling for; consulting foresters and agents for landowners
who are looking for a safe, secure market for the sawlogs from
their clients land.
 The
Cersosimo Forestry & Woodlands staff is also responsible for
management of our company-owned timberlands which presently total
approximately 12,000 acres. The majority of our timberlands are
enrolled in current use programs and are subject to our own written
forest management plans.
Low-grade
