Description
These stumpage prices are based on reports from 2016 and are the most recent available. HOWEVER, prices can change significantly within weeks or months due to market conditions. This report gives a profile of roundwood prices in Maine. Values are offered as a guide to help individuals assess the fair market value of their standing trees. The average price for a county should not be applied as the exact value for a particular tract. These prices primarily reflect common wood utilization standards and markets. Wood that can be marketed locally and/or includes specialty products may in some cases increase returns to landowners. The best way for private landowners to determine current stumpage values and available wood markets is to consult with a Licensed Forester before harvesting.
