Welcome to the Forest Resource Analysis System Software (FRASS)

Developed by Forest Econometrics, FRASS is a professional decision-support and valuation system for forestland managers, investors, and agencies. It combines biometric precision with market economics to deliver defensible, data-driven appraisals and economically optimal management schedules for every timber stand and parcel.

FRASS integrates:

• Tree-level data on species, size, density, and growth response
• Site factors such as soils, riparian buffers, and wildlife habitat
• Zoning and regulatory constraints
• Monthly updated delivered-log market data

Together, these inputs produce transparent valuations, harvest schedules, and forecasts consistent with highest-and-best-use economics.

The system is organized around land parcels—each composed of timber stands, roads, rivers, and other physical assets. Users may represent private timber companies, public agencies, investment trusts, or Tribal nations. FRASS analyzes how biological productivity and regional markets interact to define each parcel’s intrinsic and market value, offering a reliable foundation for long-term stewardship and financial planning.
