What makes this stand different
Ash dieback does not automatically make all timber unsaleable; the condition of the stem base is particularly relevant. CNPF guidance supports diagnosis and appropriate staged decisions, rather than automatic clear-felling of every ash stand. CNPF · undated · CNPF-IDF · 2021-04-16
Questions that change the assessment
1. What is the condition of crowns and stem bases?
2. Which trees remain marketable, and how soon should they be harvested?
3. Which other species and regeneration can sustain the woodland?
Species, ages and stand structure change how woodland is assessed. A visit helps compare hypotheses with the trees actually present.

A Chalfrax assessment or professional health diagnosis; marketable-timber inventory; diversification plans and quotations. 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.
