Regarding a concern for the availability of wood in the future, what is the ratio of wood harvested to wood grown each year?
Basswood’s annual harvest is reported to be less than 1/3 of a year’s growth stock and poplar to be only 1/2 of a year’s growth stock. This leaves a significant net increase in our forest growth in America with wise use of our natural resources. Wood is a renewable, recyclable resource and is biodegradable when the life of the product is complete.
