T he forests of North Carolina offer many benefits to all North Carolinians. Properly managed, forests provide wood products, jobs, clean water, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities. North Carolina’s pine and hardwood forests support one of the state’s largest manufacturing industries—the $19 billion wood products industry. This economic sector provides thousands of jobs in the production of goods like lumber, furniture, and newsprint. Additionally, each year thousands of private forest landowners receive income from timber sales, hunting leases, or the sale of non-timber forest products.
