Use this document to create a 10-year production forecast for a specific area. 

Summary

A production forecast helps you estimate timber volumes over a 10-year period for a specific area. 

It uses basic stand structure and management, like thinning, felling, and replanting, to project growth using yield models. While it’s not a substitute for direct measurement, it provides a realistic forecast with minimal data input. The spreadsheet includes two worksheets: one for entering stand details and another listing species.
