Georgia Forest Resources And Industries Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Georgia Forest Resources and Industries In the endeavor to ascertain how important such re sources are to the people of the State and how they can be made even more valuable, a State-wide field inventory was conducted in Georgia during 1934, 1935, and 1936 by the Forest Survey, employing several crews of three men and a supervisor.1 Parallel lines 10 miles apart were run approximately east and west across the State. At % mile intervals along each line, quarter-acre sample plots were established. In the southeastern part of the State, because of relative inaccessibility, the Okefenokee Swamp acres) and coastal islands acres) were 'not covered in the field survey. On the forest plots examined, the field men recorded such items as forest type, forest condition, fire damage, density and distribution of repro duction, and site quality. They tallied the trees by species and diameter class and. Made increment borings to deter mine total age of the stand and growth of the timber during the last 10 years. These data, together with some esti mates for the areas not covered by the field survey, furnish the basis for the statistics of area, volume, and growth presented in this report. Information on forest industries and timber-drain figures for 1934, 1935, 1930, and 1937 were obtained from a can vass of the wood-using plants and local wood consumers.

Excerpt from The Pulp and Paper Industry and Georgia's Forest Resource: An Economic Outlook; Prepared for Georgia Forestry Commission Georgia's 16 primary pulp mills have a pulping capacity of tpd, up from tpd in 1970. These mills are clustered in the Coastal Plain Region. Georgia's paper and board industry consists of 28 mills with an output capa city exceeding tpd. Integrated mills produce daily tons of pulp and tons of paper and board pro ducts. Nonintegrated paper and board mills produce about tons of products daily. Georgia's pulp and paper mills exhibit economies of scale that are incomparable with the competition in any region of the world. The Georgia industry claims seven mills with a pulping capacity of or more tons per day. These mills have a re placement cost estimated at $300 million per tpd of capacity.

Excerpt from Forward in Forestry: Biennial Report of Progress 1949-1950 Every county in Georgia has one or more wood-using industries, and in the past few years the forest products industries have been among the leaders in the construction of new plant facilities. Georgia leads or ranks high in the production of many forest prod acts. During both 1948 and 1949, the state led the entire south in the production of pulpwood, with the record-breaking totals of and standard cords, respectively. This represented one tenth of the total United States output of pulpwood during 1949. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from First Biennial Report of the State Forester to the State Forestry Board of the State of Georgia, 1925-1926 Forestry had its beginning in Georgia in the Forestry Act of 1921 providing for a State Board of Forestry composed of five ex - officio members and four citizens appointed by the Governor from the State at Large. The duties of this Board were purely investigative, and to report to the General Assembly of Georgia with whatever recommendations the said Board sees fit to make. However, there were no funds available for the work. The first official report to the General Assembly of Georgia was made in 1922 in compliance with the Act of 1921. The splendid report of this Board received most favorable com ment from all parts of the country. The limited number of copies print-ed was soon exhausted by the enormous demand for this information. The report gave a perfect picture of the forestry situation in Georgia and contained most valuable information per taining to the forest industrial development of the State and its subsequent decline since 1909. Since the report of 1922 covers so completely the industrial phase of the forest problems, the present timber supply and the direct influence which this natural resource has had upon the development of the State, it. Will not be necessary to cover these vital points in this report except by reference. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Georgia's Forest Stewardship Program Your forest is a complex ecosystem where trees, other plants, animals, micro organisms, soil and water interact. Its health, productivity and beauty is an important contribution to the community. Production of raw wood materials provides economic returns and supports Georgia's largest manufacturing industry. But forest habitats also nurture a myriad of plants and animals, including some that are becoming increasingly rare because of habitat loss. Your forest protects soil resources and provides clean water throughout the state. Forests offer aesthetically pleasing views and high-quality recreational opportunities. A commitment to the wise use and management of your forest resources now and for future generations is the cornerstone of Forest Stewardship. What role can you play as a forest landowner to make an impact on the quality of this precious resource? Think back to the fondest memories of your youth. Perhaps you conjure up carefree adventures involving hunting, fishing, camping or hiking. It may not have occurred to you then that those experiences were possible only because someone had taken the time and effort to preserve the natural resources under their control before passing them along. It brings to light that although we may technically own the land, we are only stewards while it is in our care. Land management activities have a profound effect on the quality of the resource today and in the future.

Excerpt from Forest Industrial Expansion in Southeast Texas: Possibilities and Dangers The forest resource is the raw material for certain industries supply ing essential needs of men in the form of manufactured products and of income to both employers and employees. The ability of the forest resource in any locality to meet the continuous needs of the industrial plants drawing from it should be a very important factor in determining the location of new plants. Serious mislocation of plants with respect to continuing timber supplies is not only wasteful of capital, but because it results in migratory populations is also unsatisfactory from the standpoint of community development. I have shown in the chart (fig. 1) the location of the existing and definitely projected pulp mills in the South. In all, 44 plants are shown. Of these, 11 are either still under construction or have been operating less than 18 months. After study of this chart, you may ask, Were these new plants located after careful consideration of the ability of the forest to meet the needs of the proposed plants in addition to the already established forest industries? I think the answer is, No. As a matter of fact, For est Survey data for southeast Georgia indicate that there is a serious threat of overcutting the forest after all the pulp mills now proposed swing into full production. This means that eventually some of the forest industrial plants will have to cease operation on account of lack of wood, and employees of these plants will have to seek employment elsewhere.
