road routing to economical wood
Primary = standing merchantable forest at risk: above the Williams Lake TSA volume floor (pine 80, other 120 m3/ha), with parks, OGMAs and cutblocks netted out. Regen = logged 2nd-growth, priced by its regrowing species and volume (most is still too young to re-log). Red = the road web. This is a STAND breakeven (does the log pay to cut, haul and stumpage), not mill profit. Drag the price; each stand lights at the lumber price where it starts to pay.
