About Idaho Department of Lands timber sale prices
This page rolls up green sawtimber auctions across Idaho's supervisory areas into a volume-weighted monthly average price per thousand board feet (MBF), its median sale price, its premium over the appraised minimum, and its bid intensity. Salvage, deck, stewardship and product sales are excluded from these figures and ranked separately on the board rather than blended in: they are a different product from standing green sawtimber, and many sell on token minimums where any real bid reads as an outsized premium. Volumes are reported in MBF, thousands of board feet (what an MBF is). The Idaho Department of Lands sells endowment timber through supervisory areas, and this page covers all of them; the area table shows how many sales each has closed. Every completed auction here is listed in the sale table below the price figures, newest first, with a link to the agency document it comes from. The 10 sales advertised here but not yet auctioned are listed under it, soonest first; every advertised sale the site covers, in every region, is on the upcoming timber auctions calendar. 33 sales advertised here went to auction in the last 6 months with no result on file yet; they are listed with their notice and will move into the sale table when the result posts.
