Evaluation of the Economic Feasibility of Establishing a Concentration Yard to Utilize the Low Value Wood Resource in the Bitterroot Valley

摘要

The objective of this project was to assess the economic feasibility of a wood concentration yard to improve utilization of the forest residue resource in the Bitterroot Valley in western Montana. The concentration yard evaluated in this analysis would provide loggers and forest landowners with a market for mixed product loads of residue material which at present are difficult to market in western Montana.
