One of the key goals of BCTS is to provide a credible reference point for the costs and pricing of timber harvested from public forests. For MPS, a selection model will be used to ensure timber is representative of the overall profile. The selection will be made on characteristics of the remaining working forest, not past harvest. The selection criteria will capture the full spectrum of the operational and value characteristics.
