The Pulp And Paper Industry And Georgias Forest Resource An Economic Outlook Prepared For Georgia Forestry Commission Classic Reprint

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 Georgia's Future Timber Supply: An Economic Outlook This more than 2 million acre loss of forest land suitable for pine forestry partially reflects diversion to other land uses, as reflected by the decline of the total forest from million to million acres. But it also reflects the reversion of 1 million acres of forest land to hardwood forest types which are of limited value as a raw material source for Georgia 3 forest indus try and which are economically unfeasible for reconversion to pine forestry.

Excerpt from The Timber Supply Situation in Georgia Georgia's forests was completed in 1936. During this period annual production of lumber in Georgia more than doubled. Pulp wood production jumped from cords in 1937 to million cords in 1954. Georgia now produces more pulpwood and lumber than any other State in the South. Since 1936, over 16 million acres of forest land have been put under organized fire protection. Pine trees have been planted on more than one-half million acres. About 8 million acres of forest land have been put under management. During the 19 years that the Naval Stores Conservation Program has been in operation, turpentining practices have steadily improved. To get an accurate measure of the impact of these events on Geor gia's timber supply, a second inventory of the State's forests was begun in July 1950. In November 1953 the last of ground survey plots was taken. The findings of this second survey furnish the back ground for an understanding of the present forest conditions in Georgia and focus attention upon the principal forest problems and what needs to be done to solve them. No attempt is made to fully evaluate the use of forests for wildlife, recreation, or grazing; these uses are dis cussed only as they affect the timber supply.
