Logging and lumber industry strives for zero waste
This election year we often hear the phrase “stump speech.” But during April, while we celebrate Earth Month and Arbor Day, “stump” takes on a different meaning. To the thousands of Missourians in the logging and lumber industry their “stump speech” is how they responsibly harvest the trees that get processed into wood products.
Missouri is known as the “show me” state — and the 42,000 in our state’s multi-billion-dollar logging and lumber industry are prepared to do just that.
Not only do trees lock up carbon, but the wood products made from those trees also store carbon for decades. And Missouri’s properly managed tree growth exceeds harvest by 2.5 times.
These managed forests remove the trees that are mature, dying, or overcrowded, opening the canopy for sunlight to hit the forest floor — and allowing young trees to grow and wildlife to flourish.
The logging and lumber industry in Missouri strives for zero waste. From log homes to pallets to oak barrels to charcoal to furniture and flooring, the harvested tree is completely utilized.
And now armed with the facts, Missourians can rest assured they truly are seeing the forest for the trees.
