Abstract
This annual assessment of regional timber output is based on a canvass of the pulpmills in the Northeast that use roundwood or wood residue as a basic raw material for paper, insulation, and hardboard products. The report includes a discussion and tabular data on roundwood and chips from plant residues produced in and received by 14 northeastern states in 1977: pulpwood production by state, county, and species group; pulpwood receipts from roundwood by state and species group; pulpwood chip receipts by state and species group; and production of total-tree chips. From 1976 to 1977, pulpwood production increased by 10 percent; roundwood production rose by 4 percent; and chipped residue production jumped by 29 percent. Current record levels are discussed and trends in pulpwood production for the past 15 years are illustrated. A list of the woodpulp mills that received northeastern pulpwood during 1977 is included.
