Abstract: Forest Industry census collects current consumptive and non-consumptive timber use levels from public and private lands to evaluate trends in resource levels. The collection provides timber industry representatives, researchers, natural resource analysts, and decision makers with continuing comprehensive assessments of the present and future demand for renewable wood resources, from both public and private timberlands, in order to forecast future supplies and analyze changes in demand. Respondents are primary wood-using industries.
