Woody biomass is a renewable organic material. Biomass, which can include stems, limbs, leaves, and other parts of trees, is a byproduct of forest management activities, such as tree thinning. Much of this material can be re-used to create new products. The USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS) is actively working with land managers to develop new wood product and market innovations that improve the cost-effectiveness of treatments and strengthen rural economies. RMRS is identifying emerging markets to create value from the woody biomass derived from fuel reduction treatme...
