Pulpwood production in the Northeast - 1985

Abstract

The 1985 annual assessment of pulpwood production and receipts for the 14 states in the Northeast Region shows that production dipped 2 percent since 1984. Roundwood production decreased 3 percent or 168,900 cords, and manufacturing residues decreased 1 percent or 30,300 cord equivalents, thereby bringing total production down to 8,807,000 cords. The consumption of pulpwood at Northeast mills totaled 9,455,100 cords. A 142,300-cord decrease in shipment of wood out of the region caused consumption to decrease less than production. This report is based on a canvass of all pulpmills that use roundwood or wood residues from the Northeast as a basic raw material for paper, insulation board, and hardboard products.
