Neighbor’s logger cut 5 large fir trees
I’m in WA state. I have 40 acres and most of it is in timber. My neighbor was having some financial troubles and decided to hire a logger to cut some of her trees to catch up on bills. I heard the cutting from the house and could tell it was near the property line. Using the OnX app, I found 5 of them were mine. The logger and neighbor have stopped their cut until we resolve this. I can see their road from my house and will know if they try and pull the logs out. They appear to not have pulled a DNR or county permit for this job. The logger did not use OnX or any other GPS and depended on the neighbor to tell him where the property lines are. The logger says he will send me his insurance information next week. These were large 80+ yr old Doug Firs. What should I anticipate happening going forward?
Thank you for all the advice!! I went out and located the corner stake which was in line with all my marked t-posts. The neighbor has an old logging road which follows the property line. I was able to take photos of the stumps with the property markers in the foreground. I will try to add them to this post if I can figure it out. They had to walk around the property markers to get to the trees. I don’t see any neighbors trees cut at all. Just mine. Looks like they just wanted these trees specifically.
