Forest Facts
- The forest products industry, which comprises about 15 percent of forestland ownership, is responsible for 41 percent of all replanted forest acreage.
- The forest products industry plants more than 1 billion trees a year, or about 3 million trees planted every day.
- Demand for wood products keeps our forests growing; it does not eliminate them.
- Growing trees harness the energy of the sun and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
- When a young forest is growing, it produces 1.07 tons of oxygen and absorbs 1.47 tons of carbon dioxide for every ton of wood.
- Harvesting mature forests allows new, young forests with a rapid rate of carbon absorption to take their places, continuing the naturally perfected cycle.
- One–third of the U.S. (749 million acres) is forestland.
- The U.S. forest resource has grown by 39% since 1953.
- Tree growth exceeds harvest demands in all areas of the U.S.
- 4.6 million trees are planted every day in the U.S.
