8: The Economics of Ohio’s Forest Industry

Ohio’s forests and woodlands are an important part of the state’s overall economy. Using standard economic models, the forest economy contributes $22.1 billion to Ohio’s total economic activity. That money flows to woodland landowners as well as to the people at each point in the production process of forest products. Woodlands and trees also provide benefits not directly tied to physical products, such as environmental services like pollution prevention and recreational opportunities.
