Wykorzystanie zasobów Puszczy Noteckiej przez przemysł drzewny

The paper focuses on the characterisation of forest resources and harvesting, sale and distribution of roundwood for woodworking industry, wood−derivative board production plants and pulp and paper indus−try in the Notecka Forest. The age and species structure of stands indicates that the analysed forest complex is and in the future can be an important supplier of timber for sawmills and pulp and paper mills, especially for the Wielkopolska region. The roundwood offered is of an ever more higher quality. A regular increase in proportion of trees in older age classes has caused that the Notecka Forest becomes a source of valuable timber for the sawmill and plywood industries. However, the long−term forms of cooperation between large sawmills and the State Forests Holding have to be perfected.
