Because of structural changes in the forest sector, the world increasingly relies on intensively managed plantations for its industrial timber supply. Pacific Northwest (PNW) forests are not immune to these same pressures. Increases in the availability of cheaper plantation-grown timber from other regions (e.g., the southern United States) will reduce the profitability of PNW forestry unless offsetting management actions are taken. But much of the land in the PNW has no better use, so it likely will remain forested, able to support a competitive forest products industry. Technological innovation can support profitable forestland ownership even if timber prices fall. |
