What makes this stand different
Delayed thinning can leave slender spruce stands vulnerable to wind damage and bark beetles. France’s 2025 bark-beetle action plan addresses crisis timber, especially in the north-east; it does not prove an infestation on your parcel. CNPF · 2020-04 · Ministère de l’Agriculture · 2025-08-25
Questions that change the assessment
1. How much timber is alive, attacked, dead or already sold?
2. Has a recent survey checked bark beetles and stand stability?
3. What sanitation-felling and regeneration costs match this site?
Species, ages and stand structure change how woodland is assessed. A visit helps compare hypotheses with the trees actually present.

A recent health inventory; existing harvesting or timber-sale contracts; a regeneration plan 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.
