agreed.i wont lease from them again.i was surprised when i went thru rayonier and how helpful they have been answering my questions.also being use to dealing with all the westervelt bs and not having to deal with it rayoniers side was another plus.did i also mention rayonier allows you to purchase clearcut areas for food plots.thats a huge plus when your trying to better your lease on timber plantations.


How is that different?

Not really following what you are asking.If westervelts goal is to improve habitat for wildlife why do they do everything opposite to do so?I thought the purpose of there company was to assist timber investors in creating good habitat for the people they lease to.Not saying any names but my biologist never offered anything.we was pretty much on our own.And i know hunters are paying big money to lease these properties.They should treat us a little better when you look at what we pay per acre and what they bring in over a 10 year period on a lease its alot of money compared to what there selling in timber.If it wasnt for us people would run all over there properties and dump trash,do illegal activities that would cause fires and a bunch of other things.I dont personaly think westervelt is doing everything they can.I think on there third party leases there just collecting money for doing a whole lot of nothing besides posting the lease on a website..the investment companys would be way better off creating a hunting department and letting them collect all the money.The bear creek propertys they manage in florida are the worse.Thats why there are 20+ leases down there available that never get leased or renewed.
