F&W Forestry’s Regional Timber Market Commentary
Beginning with the Spring 2026 issue of the F&W Forestry Report, we are introducing Regional Timber Market Commentary — a new quarterly feature highlighting timber market conditions across our operating footprint. Each quarter, managers from our regional offices will share on-the-ground observations from the areas they know best. This series provides a deeper look at the trends shaping timber markets in different parts of the U.S.—from pricing and mill activity to landowner sentiment and product demand. Just as importantly, these updates showcase the depth of knowledge and experience among F&W’s managers in the country’s major forestry regions. Their first-hand perspectives provide readers a clearer view of how regional dynamics influence broader market conditions—and to spotlight the individuals who serve as F&W’s “boots on the ground.” Their local expertise and real-time insights are key to helping clients make informed decisions and manage their timberland for long-term success.
