The Outlook for Timber in the United States

Abstract

This report on the Nation's timber supply and demand situation and outlook relates primarily to the 500 million acres of commercial timberland in the United States that are suitable for production of timber crops. Although limited primarily to timber, the report recognizes that these lands must also provide recreation, water, wildlife, and other similar products for the American people. Achieving a balance between rapidly rising demands for timber and these other goods and services is a challenge for American forestry that must be met.
