Pulpwood production in the Northeast 1969

Abstract

This annual report is based on a canvass of all pulpmills in the Northeast that use wood-either from roundwood or plant residues-as a basic raw material for a variety of products. Mills that use pulpwood as a raw material in producing insulation board and hardboard were also included in the canvass. The production-from-roundwood statistics reported in this bulletin are based upon mill receipts, which are subject to fluctuations caused by uneven wood-inventory buildups or liquidations from year to year. The plant residues are received at the mill mostly in chip form; however, some coarse residues are being chipped at the mill site. Origins of mill receipts of pulpwood from roundwood are reported by county where cut; however, pulpwood from plant residues can be traced only to the state where it was produced. Even so, some of the logs from which the residues came were probably cut in states other than the one in which they were processed.
