Fall Wildfire Season in North Carolina: How to Protect Your Timberland

Quick Answer: North Carolina’s fall wildfire season typically runs from October through early December. Falling leaves, dry vegetation, and changing weather conditions increase the risk of fast-moving fires. Human activity causes more than 99% of wildfires in the state. Landowners can reduce their risk by maintaining firebreaks, clearing access roads, managing debris, and reducing vegetation near buildings. Planning prescribed burns for suitable weather conditions can also help protect timberland.

Timber Basis 101: How to Lower Your Tax Bill When You Sell NC Timber

Timber basis is the value assigned to your standing timber, separate from the land itself, at the time you acquired the property. When you sell timber, subtracting your basis from the sale proceeds (through what's called depletion) reduces the taxable gain. Landowners who never establish a basis end up paying tax on the full sale amount instead of just the actual gain, often costing them thousands of dollars they didn't need to pay.

Passing Down the Family Forest: Succession Planning for NC Landowners

Quick answer: Only about 30% of family forestland survives to the second generation, and 12% to the third. Without a written succession plan, land often becomes "heirs' property," jointly owned by multiple descendants with no one able to make decisions about it. North Carolina landowners can get a free succession consultation through NC FarmLink.

How to Salvage Storm-Damaged Timber in North Carolina

Quick answer: Sawtimber and veneer trees need to come out within 4 to 6 weeks of storm damage before blue-stain fungus sets in, while pulpwood can wait 8 to 12 months. Don’t salvage an entire tract if less than 20% of it is damaged, since trees with intact root systems often recover on their own. Call a professional forester before you cut anything.
