Forest species price schedules by region

Definitions

$/mbf: Dollars per thousand board feet (International one quarter inch log rule)

NYS DEC: New York State Department of Environmental Conservation

Base price: The base price criteria include the following: woods-run log quality, an uncut stand, accessible within one quarter mile of an all-weather road, and topography that allows easy logging.

Accessibility: A correction to adjust timber price for distance from the road: remote timber is further than one quarter mile from an all-weather road.

Code: A volume code indicating whether a species is valued in board feet or in cubic feet (pulpwood) - varies by region.

Cut class factor: A negative adjustment for stands that have been cut, leaving lower quality timber than is found in stands which are uncut.

Logging difficulty: A negative adjustment is applied to timber that is more difficult to access because of terrain steepness and/or where roughness makes access difficult:

Easy logging: Slope is less than 20%

Difficult logging: Slope is between 20% and 40%

Uneconomical logging: Slope is greater than 40%

Stand condition adjustment: A correction relating to timber volume, whereby stands with a lesser volume of timber tend to have a reduced value, because timber is more dispersed per acre, making it more costly to remove it.

Stumpage value: The price paid for standing timber (usually $/mbf).
