Importance of Local Wood Products
Massachusetts is the 8th most forested state by percent of forest cover in the U.S. (62% forest cover). Did you know only 10% of wood products used in Massachusetts comes from our forests? This means 90% of our wood products are imported from forests in other states and countries with less or no restrictions on how the timber is harvested which can ultimately do more harm than good to the environment. Massachusetts has the most strict regulations for forest management to ensure the acts to harvest timber are done responsibly and in ways to create beneficial outcomes to our forests.
Taking action to actively manage your woodlot through the use of timber harvesting is important to not only provide local wood products, but also to ensure your forest has the ability to last for generations to come. Employing the use of responsible science based timber harvesting methods helps to create an uneven aged, diverse forest that can withstand future challenges such as insect infestations and pathogens. When larger trees are removed, it creates openings in the forest canopy and lets sunlight hit the forest floor which promotes understory growth. Trees that are strategically left during a timber harvest are used as seed trees to help establish new growth. Other trees that are left other than young saplings are left for wildlife and for future growing stock to ensure you will receive the most value out of your land over time.
