Let’s see: 10 times a week multiplied by 40 weeks multiplied by a dozen years. I’d say I walked past the big white oak on Allen Road by the Chambers

There are many misconceptions out there. Maybe you have heard that harvesting trees harms our forests. Well today, on , we will debunk that myth. In fact, consumer demand for hardwood products keeps our forests healthy and growing.

Here's why:

Like all living things, trees do not live forever. When they are responsibly harvested, the environmental benefits abound. A harvest not only provides materials for carbon storing wood products, but it creates forests with diverse age classes, which:

✅Are better able to withstand disease and pest outbreaks
Provide increased carbon storage as young trees are more efficient at sequestering carbon

✅Enhance wildlife habitat by providing diverse settings that allow forest friends to complete their life cycles

✅Improve air and water quality as trees thrive with less competition for sunlight and soil nutrients

In addition, thanks to sustainable forestry efforts, U.S. Hardwood forests are131% larger than they were in 1953. That is because active forest management helps keep forests as forests instead of being developed. In Pennsylvania, for every tree harvested, 2-3 trees naturally grow.

The choice is clear. When you buy wood products, you support healthy growing forests!
