Forest Products Industry in Nebraska

The forest products industry in Nebraska is relatively small and dispersed compared to more forested states in the west and south, but it is a significant contributor to the state’s economy. Approximately 100 sawmills, including 34 active mills, annually process 4 million cubic feet of logs and other roundwood into wood products. Each year more than 36 million board feet of timber is harvested from Nebraska’s woodlands.
