Abstract

This report describes a timber supply and demand assessment of the Green and White Mountain National Forests' market area using USDA Forest Service, Forest Inventory and Analysis data, production information provided by forest industry, and a stump-to-mill logging cost-prediction model. Nonavailable timberland that includes reserve and steep-terrain lands is analyzed, and the sustainability of regeneration, partial cut, and diameter-limit harvests is evaluated.

Keywords

Economics, sustainability, logging cost, sawmills, timber quality
