2006 Forest Land Use Values

Prepare by the Virginia Department of Forestry - August 2006.

A value is suggested for non-productive forest land. This is land devoted to forest use but not capable of growing a crop of trees for commercial industrial use. Examples of this type of forest land are inaccessibility, steep outcrops or rock and shallow soil on steep mountain sides, excessive steepness, heavily eroded areas, coastal beach sand, tidal marsh, etc.
