Abundant Forests Alliance
Some people think we're "running out of trees," but nothing could be further from the truth. Weyerhaeuser has been working with the Abundant Forests Alliance, a group dedicated to clearing up misconceptions about the forest products industry. According to the Abundant Forests Alliance:
- Our industry plants more than 1.7 million trees—every day!
- There are 10 million more acres of forests in the U.S. today than 15 years ago.
- The U.S. forest inventory has increased by 39 percent since 1952, despite nearly doubling our population!
The Abundant Forests Alliance has spent the last four years promoting the industry's record on sustainability through education about new technologies, advanced forestry practices, and improvements in recycling. Learn more by visiting the Abundant Forests Alliance web site.
