Forisk also generates timber market and wood basin-specific forecasts for stumpage and delivered prices throughout the United States. Our deep understanding of available timber price data sets, our forest operations research (which supports efforts to forecast harvesting and hauling costs over time as fuel prices change), and our ongoing tracking of all wood-using facilities and projects in the continental US provide the basis for custom forecasts for pine and hardwood roundwood and chips.  To learn more about market and mill-specific timber and wood raw material forecasts, please contact Brooks Mendell, bmendell@forisk.com, 770.725.8447.

Forisk works with clients directly to identify and understand assumptions, relationships, and implications from models of future stumpage prices.  We believe that extracting value and harnessing insight from a stumpage forecast comes from the interaction between client and researcher.  To read more about our approach and philosophy to forecasting, click here.

In addition, Forisk teaches "Forecasting Stumpage Prices" Master Classes as part of its Continuing Education Program.
