Region 2 (Colorado, South Dakota, Wyoming)

These reports are intended to help land managers better understand the availability of timber-processing capacity within the USDA Forest Service’s Region 2 (Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota). This information can improve utilization of timber removals in commercial timber harvests, forest restoration, or hazardous fuels reduction treatment, as well as enabling better planning, appraisal, advertising, and accomplishing stated land management goals.

The Timber Products Output (TPO) mill survey data underlying the analyses in these reports were collected under joint venture agreements with the USDA Forest Service's Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program at the Pacific Northwest Research Station (#21-JV-11261979-053) and Rocky Mountain Research Station (#20-JV-11221638-171). The reports were developed under agreement #22-CS-11020000-036.
