Reminder: When sharing this price information with others, please include the following cautionary remarks: This information is based on sales in Jan.-March, 1996; since then, general market conditions may have changed significantly. Also, prices vary depending on size of tract, access, amount and quality of timber, other stand conditions, and distance to mills. For example, especially during periods of wet weather, timber on "high and dry" tracts tends to bring better prices.
