Abstract

A statistical and analytical report of the third forest survey of West Virginia by the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Findings are based on the remeasurement of 1/5-acre plots and new 10-point cluster plots. This report analyzes trends in forest land area, timber volume, annual growth, and timber removals. Timber- products output by forest industries, based upon a canvas of industries in 1974, and the importance of timber and forests to the State's economy and environment are also discussed. The report includes a discussion of the outlook for timber supplies during the next 30 years, a discussion of resource management opportunities, and 65 tables of statistical data.
