Abstract

Paper birch occurs on New Hampshire's state forests in association with almost all other upland species. The quality wood is found as far south as the Sunapee Range and the Lake Winnipesaukee area. In this northern zone, there is a ready market that recognizes grade and makes paper birch management worthwhile. In the white pine area in the southeastern part of the State, paper birch wood is generally of poorer quality and is apt to bring but little better price than the cheaper hardwoods.
