The timber resources of New Hampshire

Abstract

A resurvey of the timber resources in New Hampshire was completed in 1960. This report summarizes the timber-resource situation and the changes that have taken place in the 12 years since the first forest survey of New Hampshire. Field work for the initial survey was done entirely by the staff of the Northeastern Forest Experiment Station; the resurvey was a joint effort with the staff of the White Mountain National Forest. The National Forest personnel assumed responsibility for the resurvey of forest lands under their jurisdiction. The timber-supply outlook for the state and the demands for timber products have changed considerably. This report describes the current forest-land area and timber volumes and important changes or possible trends. Detailed statistical information and definitions of the terms used are presented in an Appendix. Users of the data in this report are cautioned to read with care the precise definitions of the terms used, the description of the forest-survey methods, and the statements pertaining to the reliability of the estimates.
