Wisconsin green 4/4 FAS white oak is nearly 24% below a year ago and about 30% below two years ago, while mills say log costs remain high. That spread is where the squeeze is showing up.

[The Forest Business School @ForestBizSchool]

Wisconsin pulpwood outlets remain tight and white oak prices lag badly; a 50-year Maine study finds whole-tree harvesting changed species composition more than long-term productivity.

@GaTrees @GTResearch_ Pilot scale is the interesting part here: Georgia is putting $8.9M behind a real operating test of whether underused wood, forestry residuals and mill byproducts can support higher-value products before anyone commits to full commercial-scale capital

Alberta cut September coniferous Crown dues 26.6% in one month, to C$9.31/m³ from C$12.68. For operators on Crown timber, that is an immediate harvest-cost reset—not a forecast.

Alberta's September conifer dues fall 26.6%; Pennsylvania puts 257.2 MBF + 4,650 tons to bid Tuesday; salvaged glulam gets a new commercial role.

For prescribed fire, Forest Service research says the main barriers to doing more are capacity and funding—not air quality. The constraint is people, planning bandwidth and execution, not just treatment design.

Diesel rose another 24.4¢ in a week to $6.529/gal while November lumber fell 6.1% to $533.50/MBF. The cost side is moving the wrong way faster than the product-price side can absorb it.
