A Few Facts About Wood in Canada

We Are Growing More And More Wood Every Day.

Last year over 700 million seedlings were planted in Canada. That's about 25 new trees for each Canadian.

Few Canadians realize that the forest industry harvests less wood each year than is destroyed by wildfire, disease and pests. In fact, Canada harvests only about four-tenths of one percent of its productive forestlands.

Due to sustainable forestry practices the volume of wood in Canada's productive forests increased by 35 percent between 1976 and 1991.
