National Woodland Owners Association offers unbiased, research-based, factual information to inform, educate and advocate for US family forest landowners.
Check this out. A 20-year @UCBerkeley study finds forest management tools like prescribed burning and thinning reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire & improve forest health without negatively impacting wildlife or plant biodiversity. #workingforests

More than 1,000 tons of carbon is captured every 24.7 minutes by Texas Forests. Every tree in Texas plays an important role in capturing carbon emissions and making our air and water cleaner.

The SC Forestry Commission is conducting a statewide survey to get a better understanding of SC's forest landowners, the type of woodlands they own and how well we're serving the public. If you received the survey, please take just a few minutes to send us your responses.
Wood products make up 47 percent of all industrial raw material manufactured in the United States, yet consume only 4 percent of the energy needed to manufacture these industrial materials.
This is a key point that many armchair environmentalists miss. The owner of a working forest has a big incentive to replant after harvest, turning photons, rain, and CO2 into 2x4s and paper bags. If you use paper bags, you are incentivizing keeping more land as forest.
Every man, women and child in the US "consumes" about 74 cubic ft. of wood each year. That wood comes in many forms from construction lumber to furniture to tissue paper to packaging and energy. If the 74 cubic feet were dry Douglas-fir, it would weigh over 2300 lbs.!
