Forest Economics: Harvest Value and Volume
Northampton County
Harvest volumes generally increase or decrease due to local demand. When demand is high, prices for timber increase; the higher price may lure landowners into selling their timber.
Other conditions, such as insects and disease outbreaks, natural disasters, loss of forest to development can lead to unusual increases in harvest volumes.
