    Hoping to start clearing trees to make room for a turn table for trucks.is it worth going for the grant or cheaper without.have my own pencil quarry on the farm.local forest company said they will look after it through the grant. Anything to be saved by getting a contractor myself.

    As a forester who deals with this sort of thing, if you build the road yourself (using your own digger) and provide the material for building the road you can charge that to the department to claim the costs back, in your situation you should be able to make money on the grant as opposed to the forestry company saying oh yeah we will cover it

    Get a second opinion on this before you commit to doing anything

    and yes you will never get cheaper than a free road !
