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 the 14 northeastern states in 1978: pulpwood production by state, county, and selected species; pulpwood receipts from roundwood by state and selected species; pulpwood chip receipts by state and selected species; and production of total-tree chips. From 1977 to 1978, pulpwood production increased by 3 percent; roundwood production rose by 7 percent; and chipped residue production declined by 8 percent. Current record levels are discussed and trends in pulpwood production for the past 16 years are illustrated. A list of the woodpulp mills that received northeastern pulpwood during 1978 is included.
