A timber inventory and appraisal is one of the most important steps to managing your forestland resource. A timber inventory now, will give you a basis on which to make informed decisions for the future and help you accomplish your objectives for the property in a way that will maximize benefits for you and your forestland.
This can be achieved by a timber cruise using a variety of different methods including point sample, fixed radius plots, and 100% tally. The method used depends on client needs, tract size, timber products, tree diameters, and tract terrain and layout. The timber cruise design is set up on a systematic grid basis to capture any variability throughout the tract and represent an accurate count of all timber volume and products for each tree species within the designated area. Current market numbers are applied to each product and species to give an estimated value of what the timber is worth.
