Short rotation trees harvested from dedicated stands offer a plentiful, renewable resource to meet the world’s growing need for wood and paper while, at the same time, reducing pressure on native forests.

The quality of wood products is important for both manufacturers and consumers. ArborGen is committed to improving wood quality for everyday use, including structural lumber, paper and boxboards. By improving the yield and quality of wood cultivated from production forests, ArborGen will enable growers to meet and exceed the need for improved wood products. By growing and harvesting trees in dedicated stands, native forests can be preserved for generations, maintaining native habitats, conserving biodiversity and countering global climate change.
