Forestry products are all around us. Whether it be in the walls of your home, the chair you’re sitting in, or even your pencil, the sheer amount of manufactured goods we use that are made from wood can easily be taken for granted.
Without Canadian forests we would not only miss some of the best leisure and recreational opportunities around, but also would have a tough time living out a contemporary and modern lifestyle.
Canadians are blessed to have large areas of forest cover, so much in fact that we hold nearly a tenth of the world’s total forests and roughly 40 per cent of our land surface area is covered by them. As a result, we are a top producer and exporter of many forest products, and the sector contributes significantly to our economy in various ways.
Canada’s forestry sector is also a global leader in sustainable forest management. With growing global demand for forestry goods, it only makes sense that we are a go-to supplier of choice for such products.
But wait, there are more interesting facts and statistics where that came from! Check out our latest infographic on Canada’s world-class forest industry below and make sure to download and share it with whoever you'd like!
