Each year, the Michigan forest products industry harvests about 12 million tons of wood. Each ton of wood generates about $100 worth of economic activity. That is a total of $1.2 billion worth of economic activity. Thanks to sustainable forestry measures, Michigan's forests are growing considerably faster than they are being harvested.
ALL BUT ONE is a principle of sustainable forestry practice. That is
A) protect water bodies and riparian zones, and to conform with best management practices to protect water quality.
B) provide for regeneration after harvest and maintain the productive capacity of the forest land base.
C) broaden the practice of sustainable forestry on public lands through community involvement.
D) pass legislation to limit the harvesting of trees throughout the state.
