Abstract

    The annual harvest and stumpage reports provide information on how our forest resources are being utilized. The harvest reports list the volumes of wood harvested each year by volume and county of origin. Saw and veneer logs, pulpwood, whole tree chips, sawmill residues are all recorded as well as the total harvest and log imports and exports by region and species. The stumpage reports provide the cost of sawlogs by species and region in thousand board feet as well as pulpwood and firewood prices expressed in cords and whole tree chip volumes in green tons.

    Data Table

    • Title: Vermont Annual Harvest Reports
    • Start Date: 1981-01-01
    • Description: This data set is the Vermont Major Harvest Report. This report shows total volumes by year for sawlogs, log exports, imports, pulpwood, whole tree chips, roundwood fuelwood, consumption, and mill residues. Note that 2007-2014 did not have data for a major harvest report.

    • Purpose: By understanding how timber resources are being used we can bridge the gap between forest productivity and the demand for commercial wood.
