Timber was our nation's first export. The forest also provided our forefathers with their homes, farm implements, rifle stocks and wagons.

Every industry depends upon forest products in one way or another. Trees are more important today than ever before. More than 10,000 products are reportedly made from trees. Through chemistry, the humble woodpile is yielding chemicals, plastics and fabrics that were beyond comprehension when an axe first felled a Texas tree. The American standard of living depends to no small extent on the care with which we use our forest resource. Fortunately, trees are a renewable resource.
