Abstract

Forests protect watersheds, provide opportunities for recreation and settings for aesthetic enjoyment, serve as habitat for wildlife, and produce wood and other forest products. The forests of Delaware contribute greatly to the quality of life of the residents, making the State a better place in which to live. This brochure highlights significant trends in Delaware?s forests during the last half century. The data are summarized from reports published by the USDA Forest Service, which periodically inventories the forest resources of the 50 states. In cooperation with the Delaware Forest Service, the Northeastern Research Station completed the fourth statewide inventory of Delaware?s forest resource in 1999.
