Timbering Operations

Kentucky River Properties also manages more than 140,000 acres of forest land in the Eastern Deciduous Forest, producing high quality hardwoods used and exported around the world.  Typical hardwood species include oak, walnut, cherry, ash, poplar, beech, sycamore, and pine.  KRP actively manages its forests by contracting with logging companies to selectively harvest mature stands of timber in an attempt to promote best management practices that are meant to improve the forest’s productivity and sustainability.

KRP has begun an aggressive internal evaluation that will reveal the highest and best use for our surface property.
