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.
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.

An annual review of the boundaries of these USFS appraisal zones is performed jointly by the Washington, DC office and the Regional Foresters. The results of this review may result in the shifting of appraisal zone boundaries.
Data is complete for publication
the Data aligns with the administrative boundaries dataset, so accuracy of this dataset is equal to the accuracy of the administrative boundaries dataset
Spatial information in this dataset is derived from an existing spatial dataset representing USFS Ranger Districts - (https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=fc5fee6c9a46454ba6e239a706a16b57). For appraisal zones that consist of multiple USFS Ranger Districts, those corresponding districts are dissolved using ESRI software. Attribution from the input spatial dataset is removed and replaced with attribution for this dataset. USFS appraisal zone boundaries may shift on an annual basis, so this process may be repeated on an annual basis to reflect these changes.
