The tool offers a view of economic viability and potential markets in the Maryland Forestry industry. Area suitable for harvesting includes soil likely to support wet-weather logging, a canopy height of 40 to 120 feet, a total forested area of at least 5 acres, and within a parcel 0.25 miles of a road.
