Abstract

In 1995, roundwood output from Georgia’s forests totaled 1.3 billion cubic feet, 7 percent more than in 1992. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers declined 10 percent to 474 million cubic feet. Almost all plant residues were used, primarily for fuel and fiber products. Pulpwood was the leading roundwood product at 617 million cubic feet; saw logs ranked second at 552 million cubic feet; veneer logs were third with 79 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing plants declined from 250 in 1992 to 207 in 1995. Total receipts increased 6 percent to almost 1.4 billion cubic feet.
