Nebraska Forest Service: Alma & Orleans After The Storm: A Tale Of Two Towns, Chip Murrow

Nebraska Forest Service: Publications

Historically, Nebraska’s climate is tough on trees. From high winds and tornados to fires, drought, snow and ice, Nebraska’s trees take a beating. In some cases, such as with tornados, there is little that can prepare trees. However, there is a belief that proper tree care and maintenance will improve the chances of trees weathering snow and ice storms.

Nebraska Forest Service Wood Waste Supply & Utilization Assessment, Rich Lane

Nebraska Forest Service: Publications

Increased utilization of wood waste can help decrease our Nation’s dependence on foreign energy purchases, generate energy cost-savings, enhance the efficiencies of forest and range management efforts, reduce the amount of wood waste disposed of in landfills and stimulate local economic development. In 2006 a Rand Corporation analysis found that 25% of the Nation’s energy could be competitively produced from ethanol, wind power and other forms of renewable energy such as woody biomass. A national alliance, known as the Energy Future Coalition, has subsequently advanced the “25 x 25 Initiative”. (www.25x25.org) The Coalition’s vision, now endorsed by the National Association …

Nebraska Forest Service: Windbreak & Shelterbelt Appraisal, Gary Naughton, David Mooter, Richard Woollen

Nebraska Forest Service: Publications

Living windbreaks and shelterbelts are important assets in rural areas of the Great Plains that protect homes, crops and domestic animals from wind throughout the year. They offer a safe haven for wildlife and provide attractive visual barriers. Windbreaks and shelterbelts can have measurable monetary value, and if they are damaged or destroyed, a professional appraisal may be necessary to determine their value. This publication is designed for professionals who are involved in windbreak and shelterbelt appraisal. It is also meant to show the complexity of appraisal work and the need to have professional help.

Nebraska Timber Industry— An Assessment Of Timber Product Output And Use, 2006, Ronald J. Piva, Dennis Adams

Nebraska Forest Service: Publications

Nebraska’s wood products manufacturing industry employs more than 2,200 workers with an output of approximately $286 million (U.S. Census Bureau 2002). In this bulletin we discuss recent Nebraska forest industry trends and report the results of a detailed study of the forest industry, industrial roundwood production, and associated primary mill wood and bark residue in Nebraska in 2006. Such detailed information is necessary for intelligent planning and decision making in wood procurement, forest resources management, and forest industry development. Likewise, researchers need current forest industry and industrial roundwood information for planning projects.

The last published report from a detailed study …
