"NCASI offers an expansive library of resources for Members to reference."

"Concern over ecological issues such as biodiversity, planted forests, use of pesticides and fertilizers, wetlands conservation, watershed ecology, and aesthetics has led to a remarkable growth in the number and intensity of rules and regulations that affect forest management and impact the procurement of wood-derived raw materials. Similarly, concerns about the sustainability of the forest resource have stimulated a growing interest in forest management certification, accounting of carbon stored in forest lands and chain of custody arrangements to deter illegal logging, to name a few. Responding to these concerns complicates forest management, increases costs, and has the potential to limit access to the wood resource, so it is critical to incorporate the best available science when forest-related policies are being considered."

"Despite the recent growth of electronic communications, paper continues to play a vital role in communicating concepts, ideas, and opportunities, not to mention the prominent use of paper to archive of much of human knowledge. Tissue, toweling and non-woven products are critical to personal hygiene, medical care and many other aspects of modern life. Fiber-based packaging materials, which are often preferred for their low cost and recyclability, prevent damage and spoilage of contents, and facilitate the transport and handling of products. Chemicals and advanced materials derived from wood pulping have myriad applications in consumer electronics, flavors and fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and many other industries. It is little wonder that use of pulp and paper products correlates closely with the level of economic development."

"Wood extracted from trees needs to be processed in some manner to make it useful as a building material, and a large industry in North America is devoted to the manufacture of wood products. Lumber is sawn into desired shapes and sizes, dried in kilns to achieve dimensional stability and then planed to the desired dimensions and surface finish. Plywood and composite panels are manufactured by peeling, slicing, or chipping wood to create a raw material, pressing and gluing these raw materials into panels, engineered wood shapes, and other wood products, and setting the glue with the application of heat. Particleboard and fiberboard panels can also be made from sawdust, planer shavings, and board trim from lumber operations."
