The Place Of The Pulp And Paper Industry In The Georgia Economy

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.

The Red Hills region of south Georgia and north Florida contains one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in North America, with longleaf pine trees that are up to four hundred years old and an understory of unparalleled plant life. At first glance, the longleaf woodlands at plantations like Greenwood, outside Thomasville, Georgia, seem undisturbed by market economics and human activity, but Albert G. Way contends that this environment was socially produced and that its story adds nuance to the broader narrative of American conservation. The Red Hills woodlands were thought of primarily as a healthful refuge for northern industrialists in the early twentieth century. When notable wildlife biologist Herbert Stoddard arrived in 1924, he began to recognize the area's ecological value. Stoddard was with the federal government, but he drew on local knowledge to craft his land management practices, to the point where a distinctly southern, agrarian form of ecological conservation emerged. This set of practices was in many respects progressive, particularly in its approach to fire management and species diversity, and much of it remains in effect today. Using Stoddard as a window into this unique conservation landscape, Conserving Southern Longleaf positions the Red Hills as a valuable center for research into and understanding of wildlife biology, fire ecology, and the environmental appreciation of a region once dubbed simply the “pine barrens.”
