Northwest Forestry Services has completed hundreds of appraisals of timber,
reproduction, and timber land. For most properties, we also prepare the timber
cruise upon which the appraisal is based. In addition to the economic analysis,
the typical appraisal report includes the same information as a timber cruise report.

developed by Northwest Forestry Services for one of its clients, but the names,
dates, and legal descriptions have been changed.
The components of a typical timber appraisal report include the Definition of Market
Value, Client and Intended User(s), Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, as well
as the components listed below.
