FOREST INVENTORY

Forest inventory is an estimate of the number, size, and species of trees on both HRC and MRC forestlands as well as forest habitat condition, and acreage of high conservation value areas. Inventory foresters collect the following information:

• Tree diameters
• Tree heights
• Unique tree characteristics (e.g. old growth, snags, nests)
• Number and size of downed logs

• Table 1 – Total harvest level and inventory of trees on MRC timberlands at the end of the calendar year
• Table 2 – Total harvest level and inventory of trees on HRC timberlands at the end of the calendar year
