Northeastern pulpwood, 1979 - an annual assessment of regional timber output

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. Contained in the report are a discussion and tabular data on roundwood and chips from plant residues produced and received in the 14 Northeastern states in 1979. This includes 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 1978 to 1979, total pulpwood production increased by nearly 4 percent; roundwood production remained about the same, while chipped residue production jumped 14 percent. Current record levels are discussed and trends in pulpwood production for the past 17 years are illustrated. A list of the woodpulp mills that received northeastern pulpwood during 1979 also is presented.
