Timber prices for Haines County
No county publishes its own timber prices. These are Alaska's published stumpage prices, what landowners are paid for standing timber, and the best public guide to what timber in Haines County is bringing. Your own timber can sell above or below them. This is the average the federal government receives for standing timber on the Tongass, published by the industry association. It is the only Alaska stumpage figure that can be cited, it is not dated, and it is not a private-land price.

How much is my timber worth in Haines County?
Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Haines County?
You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
