Abstract

There are 605,000 acres of commercial forest land on the White Mountain National Forest (based on a 1960 timber inventory). Of this, 258,000 acres are classed as northern hardwood timber type. In general, this would include some 27 percent yellow birch, 16 percent sugar maple, and 31 percent beech in trees that are 6 inches and larger.
