Arkansas Paper Industry Grows With State Forests
A major Arkansas industry report notes six thousand nine hundred forty four tons of production and a payroll nearing several million dollars. Three firms Inter National Paper Georgia Pacific and Lierks operate in state forests supplying pulpwood to Camden Dierks and Pine Bluff plants with contracts to harvest timber from commercial forests. The SPCA data show Arkansas has over twenty million acres of commercial forests, with most land leased to contractors for pulpwood destined for paper plants. The industry supports conservation and provides game habitat as timber lands are well managed and reservoirs stock fish for public use.
