What makes this stand different
Hornbeam has dense timber used for fuelwood and some specialised products. It can also be a useful understorey beneath oak. Wounds and water stress justify close inspection rather than assuming that dense foliage means sound timber. CRPF Bretagne / CNPF · undated · DRAAF Bourgogne-Franche-Comté / DSF · 2025-08-13
Questions that change the assessment
1. How much can be harvested economically with the available access?
2. Is hornbeam the main coppice or an understorey beneath valuable oak?
3. What do stools, wounds and recent foliage reveal?
Species, ages and stand structure change how woodland is assessed. A visit helps compare hypotheses with the trees actually present.

A coppice and high-forest inventory; extraction conditions and local firewood offers; a dated health assessment. 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.
