Once again, your friends at FORECON are thankful to share the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) timber stumpage price trends for Western New York. The following charts illustrate some of the movements we’ve seen in recent timber sale markets. Since our prior article in March of 2024, western NY sawtimber stumpage prices for white oak, red oak, and sugar maple have increased slightly, while prices for cherry, tulip poplar, and red maple declined slightly. Prices for other species have remained fairly stable. Please bear in mind, the value of your unique stand of timber may differ widely from these multi-county regional averages (pictured below). Pricing for your specific property’s timber is subject to ever-changing, highly-localized markets.
