This book was released on 2002 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Markets for low-grade and underutilized wood are critical to the practice of good forestry and the efficient operation of the forest products industry in New Hampshire. These markets provide an outlet for wood that cannot be used for the manufacture of lumber, but that are removed during forestry operations to allow other, better quality trees to grow into high value sawlogs. A viable market for low-grade wood enhances the future of the state's forest products industry, allows for the practice of sustainable forest management, and increase the economic viability of privately owned forestland in New Hampshire ... Recognizing the importance of low-grade wood markets to New Hampshire's forest products economy, the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development commissioned a study with the goal of identifying and beginning the process of implementing one or more options to sustain these markets. The project has proceeded in two phases. The first phase evaluated a number of possible markets for low-grade wood, (using evaluation criteria that included, among others, potential market size, technical feasibility, economic feasibility, and environmental and social impacts) and identified the single option most likely to provide a market to replace the anticipated loss of several wood-fired energy plants. The second phase encompassed a detailed technical and financial analysis of this 'preferred' option, which was planned to provide the foundation for economic development activity aimed at successfully promoting development of this option in New Hampshire"--Pages [1-2].

Download or read book Today s Timber Markets written by Charles Levesque and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On an average timber harvest in New Hampshire and the rest of the Northeast, easily 70 to 80 percent of the timber standing is comprised of low-quality trees. Harvesting the low-grade timber improves the remaining forest—the forest management goal for just about every forest owner. The low-grade wood comes from the top sections of trees that have a sawlog in the bottom. It also comes from other trees that are low-quality from top to bottom. This low-grade timber is used for pulpwood (paper), energy wood or firewood. Because of the low price paid to the landowner for low-grade timber compared to high-grade timber, landowners harvest low-grade timber for reasons other than income, mainly to improve the quality of the remaining trees and to remove diseased and dying trees. Another reason to harvest the low-grade timber is climate change. If left in the forest, the low-grade material will eventually die, fall to the ground and rot, giving off carbon dioxide and methane, two greenhouse gases that add to the problem of climate change. But low-grade timber markets in New England are having a tough time surviving, creating a dilemma for New Hampshire forest owners, big and small. Even if you will only harvest trees once or twice in your lifetime on your woodlot, you will want to improve the quality of the remaining timber and improve forest health. That can only be done if your forester and logger have markets to ship the low-grade logs to.
Download or read book The Timber Industries of New Hampshire and Vermont written by Robert L. Nevel and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This periodic evaluation of statewide industrial timber output is based on canvasses of the primary wood manufacturing plants in New Hampshire and Vermont. The report contains statistics on industrial timber products and plant wood receipts in 1982, and the production and disposition of the manufacturing plant residues that resulted. The 129.4 million cubic feet (3.7 million m3) of industrial wood produced in New Hampshire and Vermont in 1982 represented a 50 percent increase in production since 1972, when similar information was last collected in detail. Production and receipts of all major industrial roundwood products increased during the period. Other trends in industrial product output and the use of manufacturing residues are presented, along with 25 statistical tables.

Book excerpt: A Year in the Woods Brush Cat recounts a year in the life of men who perform one of the most dangerous jobs in America—logging New England’s vast forests for timber used in hundreds more ways than most of us realize, from houses to furniture to paper to electricity. In the spirit of John McPhee and Tracy Kidder, we meet an unforgettable cast of characters; feel their pain and exultation, and come to realize the centrality of wood in all of our lives. While they are first and foremost loggers cutting down trees, they are also ardent and effective conservationists who depend on healthy, intact forests for their long-term survival. True, some loggers are wood pirates, but most are pragmatic environmentalists, always asking the question: How do we keep this crop alive and thriving forever? The narrative moves deftly from useful tips on how not to lose body parts to a chain saw, through the terror of huge trees that fall the wrong way, to inconsistent and wrong-headed government forest management. It explores the worldwide demand for wood and wood chips, as well as the effect of climate change on the forest, and traces the money that keeps it all moving. Brush Cat clears the branches to reveal a hidden and fascinating world.
