Does Timber Harvesting really effect the economy in New Hampshire?
The logging industry in New Hampshire is a well-established and significant portion of the state’s employment base, especially in the northern regions. In addition to licensing professional foresters, New Hampshire has laws regulating logging, including a 10% timber tax (or yield tax) paid to municipalities, wetland permits when appropriate, best management practices to protect streams, and a requirement to avoid timber trespass.
