Excerpt from Projected Developments of the Timber Economy of the Columbia-North Pacific Region

The forest industries of the columbia-north Pacific Region have been developing for more than a century. Today, they are a major component of the Region's economy, and their products are distributed throughout the Nation and the world. The projections indicate the forest economy will continue to be a significant element of the regional economy for many years. The forest industries will necessarily consume increasing amounts of second-growth roundwood during these years. The future levels of timber harvest, which would be required by the projected industrial development, are based on the assumption that forest-land owners, both public and private, would continue to increase their investments in forestry.

The mix of forest industries is projected to change over time, resulting in decreasing wood consumption by the lumber industry and increasing wood consumption by veneer, plywood, and pulp and paper industries. Forest industrial employment will decline as worker productivity increases. Payrolls in the forest industries will increase, reflecting gains in productivity and continuing demands for skilled labor.

The future forest economy will depend on young timber stands such as this one in Lane County, Oregon.
