Pulpwood Value:  There is approx. 4500 tons of pulpwood on the tract.  Due to the difficulty of logging, and the long skid it has no value to the landowner.

Total Stumpage Value:  A fair market value estimate of the total a landowner could expect to receive for this timber standing would be $237, 260.

Comments:  The timber on this tract is mostly good quality, and is mostly very mature in the back where it joins the National Forest.  When plotted out, acreage was gained.  The land in the front is very rocky, and scrubbier.  This greatly increases the logging costs, in addition to the long distance the timber would have to be skidded.  There are also many deep hollows and steep slopes which add to difficulty of logging
