51% of the live sawtimber is on federally owned or managed lands 



Thirty-one percent of the total 

 volume of 60,685,000,000 board 

 feet is on private lands. Twelve 

 percent is on State lands. The 

 federally owned or managed saw- 

 timber is broken down as follows: 



Forest Service ... 97 percent 

 Bureau of Land 



Management .... 2 percent 



Indian Service ... 1 percent

Four species (western white pine, 

 Douglas-fir, grand fir, and pon- 

 derosa pine) make up 70 percent 

 of the live sawtimber board-foot 

 volume. Although ponderosa pine 

 represents only 11 percent of the 

 volume, this species totals approx- 

 imately 21 percent of the sawlogs 

 produced in North Idaho. 



Douglas-fir has the largest total volume

The only major difference in pro- 

 portions from the above occurs in 

 the case of lodgepole pine. Char- 

 acteristically a small tree, this 

 species makes up only 2 percent of 

 the sawtimber volume but 9 percent 

 of the total volume of sawtimber 

 and pole size trees.
