Alder woodland valuation in France

What makes this stand different

Black alder is associated with wet sites. Better-quality logs can serve joinery, veneer and furniture markets, but extraction season, lot size and local demand affect realisation. Waterborne Phytophthora is a health point to investigate. CNPF Nouvelle-Aquitaine · 2021-05 · CRPF / CNPF Grand Est · undated

Questions that change the assessment

1. Do water conditions and root health still suit the trees?

2. Are there enough good stems to form a saleable lot?

3. When can timber be extracted without damaging soils and watercourses?

Documents to request before an offer

Quality and diameter inventory; wetland and health assessments; an access plan and extraction quotation. Request dated documents tied to the correct parcels. Aerial imagery shows canopy, not internal timber defects or legal access rights.

From an average price to this property

An average describes completed sales, not the price of this woodland. Start with the actual scope, access, terrain, future works and comparable transactions. Explore national and departmental benchmarks. Standing timber prices in €/m³ concern a different market. When woodland sales include trees, do not add their value again.
