| Summary: | Timber cruising is used by many forest products companies to gather inventory data on their land holdings. This data may be gathered for the purposes of management planning, valuation, or in preparation for timber sales. International Paper Company, loc. routinely uses timber cruises to gather information on the volumes of standing timber within their stands in order to calculate the expected value of the timber on their lands prior to harvest. Although the methods used by International Paper Company are modified to suit the specific needs of their company, most of the techniques are the same as those used by the rest of the forestry industry. The purpose of this professional paper is to describe the specific timber rising methods used during a professional internship with International Paper Company. Additionally, since the goal of the internship was to help prepare timber sale proposals, part of the paper is dedicated to describing the proposal-icing process and evaluating aspects of International Paper's harvesting practices. |
