FIRST FOREST
The First Forest was
America’s virgin wilderness.
As the fledgling nation grew,
it provided logs for cabins,
masts and decks for ships,
and furniture and implements
for homes and farms. By
1900, the First Forest pro
duced more than one trillion
board feet of lumber.
The Second Forest was the
first forest scientifically
managed by man. Created in
the late 1930’5, it replenished
wood harvested from
America’s virgin tree crop.
Reforestation, better fire pro
tection, selective harvesting
for sustained yield, and re
search to prevent losses to
insects and disease all helped
make the Second Forest pos
sible. The Second Forest also
created the South’s ten
billion dollar pulp and paper
industry and provided raw
material for a new plywood
industry.
In part, the Second Forest
was made possible by tree
farms, tracts of private and
industry-owned timberlands
on which scientific forest
management is practiced
