The board
The hero: every recent public timber-sale result, ranked by the premium the winning bid ran over its appraised minimum, with a monthly premium-over-minimum trend. The competitive-heat signal no single agency publishes.
1 pageAuction calendar
The forward book: advertised public timber sales that have been noticed but not yet auctioned, soonest first, with the auction date, offered volume and appraised minimum where published, and the species where reported.
1 pageRegions & forests
Average stumpage price and bid intensity by state region, national forest and BLM district. State regions price in dollars per MBF, national forests in dollars per CCF; the two units are never blended.
7 pagesCounties
Every tracked public timber sale gathered by county, state and federal, with its offered volume, result and price. A running record of what has sold and what is coming up where.
23 pagesSpecies
Public timber sales gathered by the species they offer, Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine, hemlock and the rest, with prices where a source reports them. Species mix drives a tract's value more than volume alone.
3 pagesSales
Every completed public timber auction gets its own page, found by sale name: the tract, its volume, minimum, winning bid and price, the premium over minimum, the bidder count and the high bidder. No-bid sales included.
