Opportunities for increasing timber supplies in the southeast

Abstract

As wood requirements continue to increase in the United States, efforts to augment future supplies of timber will need to be concentrated in those areas and on those opportunities which promise the greatest returns from the resources which will be available. Particularly at this time, when so many of our priorities and conventional forestry practices are being questioned and reexamined, policy and decision makers need guidelines for identifying opportunities and relating alternative courses of action. Without sound guidelines, there is always the danger of massive misplacement of capital and other resources.
