Forest Situation in the United States

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to make immediately available to the Timber Conservation Board information dealing with the extent of present forest areas, timber supplies, current and potential timber growth, forest depletion, and timber requirements in the United States, obtained by an investigation initiated by the Forest Service about one and a half years ago. The most recent report embodying similar information in considerable detail is ""Timber Depletion, Lumber Prices, Lumber Exports, and Concentration of Timber Ownership,"" prepared by the Forest Service in 1920 as a result of Senate Resolution 311. The present report gives the best information on the general forest situation in 1930 that could be compiled from readily available material, pending the time when authentic data will be supplied by intensive investigations now under way or planned by the Forest Service
