Forest Growth Will Meet Nqtions Needs Soys Weyerhqeuser
Grand Rapids, Mich., May 5-It is entirely possible that future forest growth will meet all the nation's wood requirements in the years to come, declared J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., president of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, in a luncheon address today before the Forest Products Research Society.
Speaking to 500 members and guests at the eighth annual meeting of FPRS, Weyerhaeuser cited a nearly completed study by Stanford Research Institute which will project the probable demands for all forest products through 1975. Findings of the Stanford research group will be released, according to Weyerhaeuser, later this summer.
"We are closer than many of us dared hope, and far closer than our critics have admitted, to the day when all the forest products that our dynamic, growing economy demands can be met from current forest growth," said Weyerhaeuser. "The Stanford report is, we believe, a most reassuring independent finding that forest products have a bright future. Although our company retained Stanford to conduct the project, the Institute's estimates and projections are entirely its own."
