Timber data in this report are based on a comprehensive and monumented timber inventory completed in June of 2019 for the purpose of establishing Capital Timber Value (CTV). The timber data reveal a total sawlog volume of 6,722 MBF International ¼” scale (7.1 MBF/acre), with 16,769 pulpwood cords (17.8 cords/acre). Combined total commercial per acre volume is 32.1 cords, a figure above average for the region. Stumpage values were assigned to the volumes in June of 2019, producing a property-wide Capital Timber Value (CTV) of $1,055,400 ($1,122/commercial acre). The species composition is nearly split between hardwoods at 54% of total volume and softwoods at 46%. Species composition for all products combined mirrors that commonly found in the area; however, with a higher percentage of white pine, given that several large forest stands were planted to pine in the 1950s, resulting in white pine holding 17% of volume. Other species include hemlock (25%), red maple (18%), the birches (12%, mostly yellow birch), sugar maple (10%). Remaining species consist of white ash, beech, spruce and miscellaneous hardwoods, completing the profile. The sawlog volume breakdown is similar; however, white pine holds the largest volume followed by hemlock, the maples, yellow birch, red spruce and white ash (see graph to right). Previous forest management has had a noticeable impact on reducing the American beech component.
