Are you talking like a forest or wooded area?

Call some of the wood companies such as Weyerhaeuser...

Depending on the type of trees you have, they will actually come in, cut the trees down for you and pay you for the wood!

My grandfather had 40 Acres and they paid him $15,000 to selectivly cut down all the aspen trees on his property.

I will warn you these guys will make a mess, so if you want to clear cut everything be prepaired to get a bull dozer to clean up the mess afterwards. Or put it in the contract they have the clear the mess after they are done
