Silver fir woodland valuation in France

What makes this stand different

Silver fir management often uses natural regeneration beneath canopy, alongside stem selection and health monitoring. Mistletoe, cankers and recent decline require local inspection; fir is also included in the national crisis-timber plan. CNPF · 2020-04 · Ministère de l’Agriculture · 2025-08-25

Questions that change the assessment

1. Is there enough viable regeneration?

2. Do crown condition, mistletoe or cankers change the cutting schedule?

3. Does the species suit altitude, exposure and water supply?

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.
