How Douglas-fir stumpage prices are measured here

This page tracks public timber sales by the species they offer. Douglas-fir is charted as a monthly volume-weighted average of sold green sawtimber sales priced in MBF that offer Douglas-fir alone, so each point is a Douglas-fir price, not a blend. A sale that offers several species reports no single price, so it stays off the chart.

The Oregon Department of Forestry publishes something no other tracked agency does: the winning rate for each species group on a sale, so a sale of Douglas-fir and hemlock shows one rate for each. The species-group table collects those rates. ODF does not publish the volume of each group, so the table gives medians and ranges rather than a volume-weighted average, and a rate on a small or low-grade group can sit far from the median. Why species moves a sale's value so much is covered in timber prices by species.

Every other species a sale notice names is summarized below with its tracked sales. Federal CCF-priced sales are listed but not blended into an MBF average, since the units differ. Species is reported by the selling agency and is not always published, so a sale missing a species does not appear here. For the all-species price at state auctions, month by month, see the timber prices chart; for one agency's sales in full, the Oregon district table.

Common questions

What is the price of Douglas-fir stumpage?

Douglas-fir stumpage sold for a volume-weighted $605/MBF over the last 12 months at Oregon Department of Forestry auctions (34 sales), and $588/MBF in October 2026. That is the price of standing trees sold at public auction, before logging and hauling.

How do other species compare with Douglas-fir?

On Oregon Department of Forestry sales over the last 12 months, Douglas-fir drew a median winning rate of $578/MBF (43 sales), against $172/MBF for true firs (8), $248/MBF for hemlock (7) and $50.41/MBF for pine (4). Those are rates per species group on the same kind of sale, so they compare like with like.

Is this the price of Douglas-fir logs?

No. These are stumpage prices, paid for standing trees before they are cut and hauled. A delivered log price is what a mill pays at its gate and runs well above stumpage; how log prices differ from stumpage prices puts a dollar figure on the gap.

Where do the species rates come from?

The Oregon Department of Forestry's timber sale results list the winning bidder's rate for each species group on every sold sale. Washington DNR, the Forest Service and BLM publish a whole-sale price instead, so their sales add to the species counts but not to the rates.
