Forest Analytics and Forest Estate Modeling

We use forest estate models to analyze timber and fiber supply scenarios for large landscapes over hundreds of years. The application of these tools helps our clients understand:

  • Sustainable harvest rates and trade-offs between short and long-term harvest levels

  • Impacts resulting from alternative management approaches

  • Harvest profiles — log size, species mix, haul distances, harvest systems — and delivered wood costs

  • Optimal strategies for harvesting, reserves, or investment in forest lands

  • Strategic timber and fiber supply considerations
