Abstract

This report presents the results of a survey of primary wood processors in New York and surrounding states and Canada that relied on New York?s forests for at least a portion or their roundwood receipts in 1999. The previous survey of wood use and production in New York was conducted in 1993. At that time New York was a net importer of round wood. The latest study found that New York is now a net exporter of roundwood with Canada accounting for about two-thirds of all exports. Both sawlog and total roundwood production in New York were at levels not seen since the early 1900s. Hardwoods account for just under two-thirds of the total roundwood production.
