Cedar’s value may be overlooked

[Arkansas] “For years and years people didn’t — and some people still don’t — realize the value of cedar on their land,” Mark Starnes told Ozark Woodland Owners Association members recently at Ozarka College in Melbourne. A specialty market exists in which some particularly good trees may be sold by the tree for high prices, Starnes said. An example of specialty cedar use is decorative fencing. Cedar is also used for logs for log homes. Various lengths of logs are used for such homes, so a log does not have to be particularly long to be used in that market.
