Continuous changes are taking place in how wood is harvested and used in the United States. The needs to mechanize forestry operations and to assure proper management of the forests have favorably influenced the type of equipment and degree of planning used in harvesting timber. Also, utilization technologies have changes, providing a wide variety of economical high-quality wood and wood fiber products from a resource composed of smaller timber and a larger number of species. These changes permit better management and use of our renewable wood resources.
