Abstract:
Kamlar Corporation, a company headquartered in Winston-Salem and with production facilities near Pantego, has found an important use for pine bark in mulching and decorative landscaping. Kamlar takes the bark, ages it a few months, screens it into varied sizes, and then bags it for shipment. This is an alternative to piling and burning the bark, further polluting the air and rendering the land unuseful.

Abstract:
More than two-thirds of North Carolina is covered by forests, but the state could face a severe timber shortage in less than twenty-five years because of a lack of forest maintenance. There are issues with small landowners, who own almost eight-percent of the state’s commercial timberland. Quality trees are cut for sale but are not replanted after harvesting, leading to under stocked, deteriorating timberland.

Abstract:
Wood could become an important energy source for North Carolina’s industrial firms, farmers and even homeowners. Forestry experts estimate that unutilized tree material and wood residue could provide at least one-hundred-million tons of wood fuel each year. Wood can be made into fuel pellets which would burn better than raw fuels.
