Terms

What this is

Side Forty is a newsletter and website about ways to make money from forestland and other rural land. By using the site or subscribing to the newsletter, you're agreeing to these terms.

Not professional advice

Nothing on this site or in the newsletter is legal, tax, financial, or forestry advice, and none of it is delivered under any professional license or title. Some issues touch on regulated or technical areas (carbon credits, conservation easements, land use taxation, timber sales, and similar), and the coverage is deliberately a starting point, not a complete or current guide to the rules that apply to your specific property. Before acting on anything here, especially anything involving money, contracts, or regulation, talk to a qualified professional licensed in your state and familiar with your actual situation.

The numbers aren't a promise

Any dollar figures, including the "Rough math" sections in individual issues, are illustrative examples built from publicly available sources at the time of writing, not a projection, quote, or guarantee for your property. Real outcomes depend on your land, your state, market conditions, and factors we have no way of accounting for in a newsletter.

Sources

We link to outside sources (extension offices, government agencies, researchers, and reporting) to back up what we write. We don't control those sites, can't guarantee they stay accurate or online, and aren't responsible for their content.

No guarantees

The site and newsletter are provided as-is, without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee the content is complete, current, or error-free, and we're not liable for decisions made based on it.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site grows. If something changes in a way that matters, we'll update the date at the top of this page.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
