The forest is a vital part of our ecosystem. It provides oxygen, protects watersheds, offers wildlife habitats, and supports recreational activities.
A well-managed forest can offer numerous recreational opportunities such as swimming, fishing, boating, camping, hiking, and wildlife watching.
In this diorama, you’ll notice a man in a chair — this is Bend Smith, a friend of the artist. Rossoll Human models were used to bring each scene in these dioramas to life.
The Uses of Forests – Veneer and Plywood
On the left you can see hardwood trees that are used to make veneer. Veneer is a thin sheet of wood, uniform in thickness, that is peeled or sliced from a log, then used to make furniture, pianos, or paneling. On the right are Pine trees. They produce plywood and pulpwood products.The forest is a vital part of our ecosystem. It provides oxygen, protects watersheds, offers wildlife habitats, and supports recreational activities.
Paper making is one of the nation’s oldest industries, with a history spanning over 300 years. After World War I, forests were greatly depleted due to earlier harvesting methods, leaving only small amounts of forested land. During World War II, the demand for forest products increased significantly to support the war efforts.
The Industrial Revolution introduced many new wood products, including pulpwood. Pulpwood refers to timber that is harvested specifically for making paper and other wood pulp-based products.
Notice the imitation vanilla flavoring on display, which is derived from wood pulp.
