HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Assume that initial assessment costs are $0.15/acre for a 2 million acre sustainable forest property (i.e., $300,000) on a 50 year rotation, and a harvest volume of 35 MBF/acre is realized annually for five years, then the cost/MBF/acre harvested is about $.04/MBF. Ignores annual audit cost and harvest reduction from surplus inventory.
