This analysis is based on information available 

 during the development of this CEA; information 

 and estimates may change by the time of the 

 actual sale. This analysis considers only the 

 direct benefits to the community and school 

 trusts; the benefits associated with the 

 silvicultural treatments undertaken or any 

 other indirect benefits or costs are not 

 considered. 



FI monies fund a wide range on investments in 

 the forest that are generally expected to 

 increase future trust revenue. Activities 

 utilizing these funds include tree planting, 

 site preparation, slash treatment, and 

 precommercial thinning. i
