Tree farming expands United States forests
National Geographic Society notes trees are increasingly grown as a crop with over a billion trees planted last year. Tree farming, supported by the American Forest Products Industries, helps small woodland owners earn income through thinning, poles, pulpwood, firewood, Christmas trees, and byproducts like turpentine and maple sugar. Forests conserve soil and water while offering public recreation and wildlife benefits, though forest fires pose a risk to growth.
