The purpose of this dataset is to spatially display USFS stumpage market and geographical extent of Agency appraisal zones. This information assists the USFS to quantify supply and demand for stumpage, serves as the basis for project economic analysis, defines the geographic extent of base appraisal data, and helps Agency partners and customers prepare bids for federal stumpage. The geographic extent of Agency appraisal zones serves as the foundational basis to perform market research and competitive analysis. The geographic area may encompass a Region, National Forest, a group of Ranger Districts, or combinations thereof. The zone boundary is typically determined by factors including, but not limited to, manufacturing facilities, haul distances, species yield compositions, timber quality, market area competition, and logging methods. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This dataset is a spatial display of US Forest Service stumpage market appraisal zones. A zone may encompass a Region, a National Forest, a group of Ranger Districts, or combinations thereof. Each unique market appraisal zone defines a localized stumpage market. In each market area, stumpage values reflect the market value of standing trees (on the stump) prior to felling, removal, and utilization in a value-added manufacturing activity. The zone boundary is typically determined by factors including, but not limited to, manufacturing facilities, hauling distances, species yield compositions, timber quality, market area competition, and logging methods.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
