Benchmarking Studies
As part of our research program, Forisk has administered surveys of forest industry firms to benchmark performance and costs. These studies offer the potential to compare against a group of industry participants with region-specific data. While individualized benchmarking analyses are only available to firms that participate in the surveys, detailed reports on the data are available here. Initial studies focus primarily on silvicultural and land management practices and costs.
