Salvage, deck, stewardship and product sales price on token minimums, so they are excluded from these figures and reported separately on the board rather than blended in. Volumes are reported in MBF, thousands of board feet ([what an MBF is](/guides/what-is-an-mbf)). 4 green sawtimber sales in this region are sold by the ton instead (14,650 tons). Those sales are counted on their own and never averaged into the price above, because the units measure wood differently. The Idaho Department of Lands sells endowment timber through supervisory areas, and this page covers all of them; the area table shows how many sales each has closed. Every completed auction here is listed in the sale table below the price figures, newest first, with a link to the agency document it comes from. The 8 sales advertised here but not yet auctioned are listed under it, soonest first; every advertised sale the site covers, in every region, is on the [upcoming timber auctions calendar](/calendar/upcoming).
