What makes this stand different
Ring shake is a major chestnut defect. Not every coppice can be improved: fertility, stem form and stool condition need examination. Ink disease can challenge the choice of chestnut as the main future species. CNPF Île-de-France Centre-Val de Loire · 2023-09 · CNPF · 2020-04
Questions that change the assessment
1. How old are the stems and stools, and how many rotations have occurred?
2. Are ring shake, canker or ink disease suspected?
3. Does the lot offer sawlogs, fencing, small timber or mainly fuelwood?
Species, ages and stand structure change how woodland is assessed. A visit helps compare hypotheses with the trees actually present.

Coppice history; a health and fertility assessment; product grading and evidence of buyers. 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.
