Supplemental Information

The following graphs were presented at the Flathead On The Move community meeting in December, 2005

This graph shows the record of sawtimber harvest (logs that are used by the mills) in Flathead County by landownership.   Due to the decline of supply from the Flathead National Forest, our existing industry is supplied primarily from private lands.  This situation is not sustainable in the future if we are to maintain the wood products industry we have now. 

As percent of timber harvest has declined from National Forests, the income derived from Flathead National Forest timber has declined.
