Forestry and Survival From Master Gardener David Wall
December 11, 2023 – Forestry and survival have been linked together since the beginning of time. Wood for spears, bows, shields and barriers against enemies, were common even in ancient of times. Wood for rifles, cannons, heat for cooking and hundreds of other uses helped make it possible for us to defeat England and become the start of a great nation. Wood for ships was paramount to early naval support. Such support has continued through to the present day, although wood forms have considerably changed. In WWI, enough wood from U.S. forests to build one million six-room homes (8 billion board feet) was used for war purposes. In WWII forests supported the war effort by providing enough wood to build 6.5 million homes (about 65 billion board feet). It’s not an exaggeration to say forests have been indispensable to national defense.
