Louisiana forest industry statistics, 1962

Abstract

This report summarizes information on the 1962 production of industrial roundwood (except pulpwood) in Louisiana. Because parish output is included--as well as State totals--this report should be locally useful to foresters, economists, and others concerned with the formation of forestry programs, the evaluation of timber production trends, the appraisal of plant location opportunities, and outlets for marketing timber products.

The data were collected by the Louisiana Forestry Commission and compiled by the Southern Forest Experiment Station. Information on pulp- wood production is issued annually in a separate report prepared by the Southern Station in cooperation with the Southeastern Forest Experiment Station and the Southern Pulpwood Conservation Association.

Also included here is a list of the primary wood-using plants in the State. Though an effort was made to locate all active plants, a few may have been accidentally missed. Omission of a firm, therefore, is no reflection upon its activities, nor does inclusion constitute a recommendation.
