Georgia –
timber data
Forest inventory for Georgia from the USDA Forest Service FIA: standing live volume, forest and timberland area, growth and removals, and leading species. Inventory, not price — Georgia has no single published timber price.
Georgia forest profile
Georgia has about 24,172,679 acres of forest land, of which roughly 23,596,942 acres is timberland (forest that can grow at least 20 cu ft/acre/yr of industrial wood and is not reserved). Standing live volume is about 67.1 billion cubic feet, which ranks Georgia 3 of the 19 states covered on this site. It sits in the US South region.
Net annual growth is about 2,804 million cu ft/yr against removals of 1,533 million cu ft/yr and mortality of 611 million cu ft/yr — growth comfortably exceeds removals. Leading species: loblolly pine, slash pine, yellow-poplar. Source: USDA Forest Service FIA – Georgia.
Volume = sound total-stem bark and wood volume of live trees at least 5 inches in diameter on forest land (2024 FIA methodology). Growth, removals and mortality are in million cubic feet per year on forest land. Removals include harvest cutting plus land-use and protocol change. These are inventory measures, not prices.
There is no official Georgia timber price. In practice a sale is priced two ways: stumpage (standing timber "on the stump", before cutting) and delivered or roadside (stumpage plus harvesting and hauling). Prices are usually quoted in $/MBF (thousand board feet) for sawtimber or $/ton for pulpwood and chip-n-saw, and the board-foot figure depends on the log rule (Doyle, Scribner or International 1/4). Because these commercial (private-market) series are licence-restricted, we do not publish a number. Get a current price from your forester, consultant or mill, then use the calculator to estimate value. For federal national-forest timber-sale prices, see our federal timber prices page (public-domain USFS data, with the Forest Service's caveat). See the glossary for the terms.
