Happy #FunFactFriday!
Tree harvesting and manufacturing doesn't waste wood. By-products become mulch, wood pellets, animal bedding, paper pulp, fuel or biomass energy.

According to Penn State Extension, if a tree is harvested and made into a long-lived wood product, the carbon stored in the wood product is often preserved for a longer time than if it were left to decompose in the forest.

In 2022, about 2.1% of U.S. annual total energy consumption was from wood and wood waste—bark, sawdust, wood chips, wood scrap, and paper mill residues. The usage is expected to grow exponentially as we turn to renewable energy sources to fuel the world.

WOOD PRODUCTS ARE A WIN FOR THE WORLD: Choose wood instead of plastic products! Did you know that the manufacture of wood products requires less fossil fuel than nonwood alternative building materials such as concrete, metals, or plastics. https://t.co/YyZzg9zM48

OH DEER! After a timber harvest, whitetail deer often browse on tree seedlings, preventing regrowth. Dwight Lewis Lumber Company, Inc. Hillsgrove, PA, has implemented a new approach by installing “slash walls” which protects regrowth. https://t.co/ce549XZWUN

Hardwood forests do not require replanting for good forest management. Hardwood trees, such as the oak tree pictured below, naturally regenerate and sprout from existing seeds and root/stump sprouts. Happy #FunFactFriday
