The Forest Assessment Tool and the Forest Simulator are free Excel applications for local-level (e.g. village) forest assessment and planning. The Forest Assessment Tool is a simple application for storing forest assessment data collected from field sample plots and for computing key results for this assessment. The Forest Simulator can be used to project forest development under different harvesting regimes uses results derived from the assessment module as the input data. One of the main result variables is the annual allowable cut, which can be determined both graphically and numerically.
