State Forester Flags Maryland Woodlands’ Woes and Worth
Maryland’s State Forester Joseph F. Kaylor says the lumber industry lags behind Eastern states as Maryland must import up to 25 percent of its wood needs, costing about 7.5 million dollars yearly in freight and materials. He notes only 13 percent of 2,223,000 acres are sawtimber while 53 percent yield little more than cordwood, yet forests remain Maryland’s premier renewable resource valued at about 50 million dollars.
