According to the Temperate Forest Foundation,
more than 5,000 wood and paper products are used by humans
around the world each day! There is no doubt that scientists
continue to discover new ways of converting tree fibers
and wood product residues into a vast array of products.
How vast? Wood isn't just for cooking, heat, and shelter
anymore— wood residues are even found in food and clothing!
Below is a sampling of products from
Temperate Forest Foundation's "Cool
Facts: From a Tree" website. The products listed
can all be produced from tree species native to Oregon.
These lists aren't comprehensive. Share
