Forest Type Acreage 



Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine and ponderosa pine forest types together 

 comprised 84 percent of the total commercial timberland acreage (see Table 3). 



Volume Estimates 



The Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine, and ponderosa pine forest types con- 

 tained 85 percent of the total growing stock cubic foot volume and 83 percent 

 of the total sawtimber board foot volume occurring on sampled land in Working 

 Circle 3 (see Tables 4 and 5). 



About 65 percent of the total sampled volume belonged to owners in the 

 other private ownership group. About 20 percent was owned by forest 

 industries. These percentages apply to both board foot and cubic foot 

 volumes. 



The volume by species is compared by ownership groups in Tables 6 and 

 7. As shown, Douglas-fir and lodgepole pine made up 76 percent of the total 

 cubic foot volume and 73 percent of the total board foot volume. 



The average volume per acre for all sampled lands was estimated to be 

 4,000 board feet Scribner.
