Forestry advocates say wood industry can yield 600 million
Sidney Weitzman of the Mountain State Research Center warned at Beckley’s Southern West Virginia Forestry Conference that West Virginia’s forests could become a $600 million business but landowners largely ignore the potential. He cited strip mining damage and fires that have devastated timberlands and urged a double barreled plan to boost wood utilization while coal recovers. West Virginia currently earns 58 million annually from woodlands.
