Managing Your Woodlot as an Investment Opportunity

Current dollar value ESTIMATIONS of various diameter first sixteen foot logs. These estimations are based on GROSS volume AND the assumption that the timber is of the highest US Forest Service log grade based on DBH. Your timber will almost certainly be valued differently. The board-foot prices used to generate these values are based on The Pennsylvania Woodlands Timber Market Report.
