No price here. This site does not publish a US timber price. Current price series (TimberMart-South and state or university stumpage reports) are copyrighted or licence-restricted, so we cannot republish them. The figures on this page are federal, public-domain forest inventory from the USDA Forest Service FIA — area, volume, growth and removals, not prices.
