Timber Valuation

Timber valuation is the process of estimating the economic worth of a forest’s timber resources. It considers factors like the volume, quality, and growth rate of the trees, as well as market prices for timber. This assessment helps landowners, investors, and managers determine the value of their forest assets, guiding decisions about harvesting, conservation, or investment. Methods used include analyzing timber stand data and applying financial calculations to estimate future income from selling the timber. Overall, timber valuation provides a systematic way to measure the financial potential of forested land.
