Suggestions to Woodlot Owners
The woodlot plays a major role in supplying timber for the fourth great industry. Even small woodlots can outproduce large tracts over time, and every farm should devote at least one eighth of its acres to timber. A belt of trees protects crops from late frosts and helps heat livestock in winter, while marginal land can sustain timber growth and become revenue. Forests protect slopes and river banks, reduce erosion, and offer forestry practice with manageable cutting, minimal trespass, fire risk, and modest taxes. Circular 188 from the forest service discusses woodlot uses, protection, and improvements for different stand types and is available free in Washington.
