Synopsis

How the U.S. Forest Service built timber appraisal methods—and why it matters

Valuing the Public Forests examines how the Forest Service developed timber appraisal methods from 1891 to 1981, and the people who influenced them. This book centers on the career of Julian Rothery and his role in shaping the system used to determine timber value for investment, sale, and policy decisions. It weaves together practical methods, professional debates, and the challenges of assessing value across different species, markets, and timelines.

  • Learn about the disagreements and consensus that shaped official practices
  • Explore how real-world sales and policy shifts tested appraisal approaches
Ideal for readers of forestry history, public policy, and economic history who want a clear look at how timber values have been appraised and contested over decades.
