If you bought several acres of wooded land, you probably did so because you love all those trees. However, you may find at some point in your life that money is short and tight, and now what do you do? You do not want to sell off your land, piece by piece. Thankfully, if you are willing to part with some of your trees, you can make the money you need and still keep your land.
If you have a tree that you need to cut down, here are four questions that you need to ask and answer before you proceed with cutting down a tree. These questions will help you determine how much of the tree you need to cut and how to approach cutting down the tree.
