Does the demand for wood chips deplete NH forests?
Not at all. New Hampshire is the second most forested state in the country (behind Maine), with more than 84 percent of its land mass covered by trees. In the past, trees unsuitable for lumber or paper production were simply left in the forest. Over time, these unhealthy trees could become dominant and obstruct the growth of healthy trees. But Northern Wood Power helps PSNH convert what would be waste to a practical, economical, and environmentally sound fuel source. As part of responsible forest management, Northern Wood Power actually helps foresters and landowners grow a more healthy and productive forest in New Hampshire.
