Show grazing; ranges and watersheds. Good forestry on such lands, he said, produces healthy managed man-aged forests which enhance the value of these timber-lands for multiple uses. Utah's forests furnish good timber supply Enough timber to rebuild all homes in one of Utah's larger cities was harvested from Utah forests last year, but new growth exceeded the cut by a whopping margin. The harvest totaled 55.7 million mil-lion board feet, much of it in salvage cuts of nature-killed timber in stagnated old-growth forests. This cut was considerably less than the estimated 89 million mil-lion board feet of the annual growth in the Beehive State's commercial forests. Ward W. Blazzard of Kam-as, Kam-as, chairman of Western Pine Association's Utah Tree Farm subcommittee, said that although al-though nearly half of the original orig-inal virgin timber in Utah is still standing today, the hand of death and decay is taking a toll of about 52 million board feet annually and a considerable consider-able portion of the harvest cut is centered upon salvaging this wood for man's use. Utah's commercial forests cover some 3 million acres of the state's 52.7 million-acre land area. Blazzard pointed out that though timber production is the dominant use of commercial commer-cial forests, they also provide hunting, fishing and camping, and serve as wildlife habitat, |
