“Forest”
“A forest is an ecosystem characterized by a more or less dense and extensive tree cover, often consisting of stands varying in species composition, structure, age class, and associated processes, and commonly including meadows, streams, fish and wildlife.”
(Society of American Foresters, 1998)

• Single family housing starts (USA)
2005 = 2.0 million; 2009 ≈ 0.5 million
• Home inventories (USA)
2006 = 5 million; 2009 = 10 million
• Demand for Canadian lumber ↓↓↓
