A detailed, data-driven look at Wisconsin's timber industry in 1999 and how wood moves from forest to mills.
This nonfiction report gathers production and use data to map Wisconsin’s primary wood-using industry. It covers industrial roundwood harvests, receipts by sawmills and pulp mills, and shifts in demand across softwood and hardwood species. The book also tracks pulpwood production, veneer logs, and other mill products, with regional patterns and trends over the late 1990s.
- Industrial roundwood harvest volumes and regional shares, including how much came from the northeast, northwest, and central units.
- Pulpwood production, destinations, and exports, plus how much was derived from roundwood versus mill residues.
- Saw log production versus mill receipts for both softwoods and hardwoods, and notable shifts in species mix.
- Residues and byproducts, including how much is used for fiber products or as fuel, and what portion remains unused.
Ideal for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers seeking a concrete snapshot of Wisconsin’s timber economy at the turn of the century.
