Diminishing expectations
Article Abstract:
The declining timber harvest cannot be blamed on the lack of sustainability of the forests. The increased environmentalism dictated by Washington, D.C. on the harvesting of forests, the protection of wildlife habitats and preserving forest ecosystems are responsible for the continued drop in lumber sales. Sales of timber exceeded 10 billion board ft for 30 years prior to 1990. In 1990 timber sales decreased to 7.3 billion board ft and have continued to decline.
