Wyoming's forest products industry and timber harvest, 2000

Abstract

This report traces the flow of Wyoming's 2000 timber harvest through the primary wood-using industries; provides a description of the structure, capacity, and condition of Wyoming's primary forest products industry; and quantifies volumes and uses of wood fiber. Historical wood products industry changes are discussed, as well as changes in harvest, production, and sales.

Wyoming’s forest products industry and timber harvest, 2014: Part II: Industry sectors, capacity, and outputs

“…Lumber production in Wyoming peaked in the 1980s and has generally been declining since ( fig. 2), following trends similar to those RMRS-RB-27-2 Table 2-Sales value of Wyoming's primary wood products, selected years (sources: Brandt et al 2009;Keegan and White 1979;Keegan et al 1979;McLain 1987;Morgan et al 2005;Setzer 1971).…”

Trends in Lumber Processing in the Western United States. Part I: Board Foot Scribner Volume per Cubic Foot of Timber

“…The primary data sources for this project were periodic forest industry surveys and censuses conducted for or by the Interior West and Pacific Northwest Forest Inventory and Analysis Programs of the USDA Forest Service, the Washington Department of Natural Resources, Washington State University, the University of Washington, and the University of Montana. Results from these surveys and censuses are available in recent publications on the forest products industry (Morgan et al 2004a(Morgan et al , 2004b(Morgan et al , 2005bBrandt et al , 2009Spoelma et al 2008;Halbrook et al 2009) and in approximately 55 additional publications dating back to 1970 (see the Appendix). Other sources (e.g., Haynes 1990, 1994;Kilborn 2004) were used for time periods or for states in which mill censuses were not available.…”

“…Lumber is the dominant product manufactured from timber in the western United States, with sawmills receiving approximately 75 percent of all harvested timber (Morgan et al 2004a(Morgan et al , 2004b(Morgan et al , 2005bBrandt et al , 2009Hiserote 2006, 2007;Spoelma et al 2008;Halbrook et al 2009). Estimates of wood usage and trends in the proportion of timber harvested per unit of lumber, as well as patterns and efficiency of utilization, are useful to private and public lands analysts, forest planners, and economic forecasters.…”

Alaska’s timber harvest and forest products industry, 2011

“…This effort is the first application of FIDACS in Alaska. The BBER and the Forest Service research stations have been conducting mill censuses in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast States for 30 years (Brandt et al 2006;Morgan et al 2004aMorgan et al , 2004bMorgan et al , 2005Morgan et al , 2006Spoelma et al 2008). Information collected through FIDACS is stored at the BBER in Missoula, Montana.…”
