Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only.© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Timber is a renewable resource, meaning wood and wood products should be sustainable construction materials. However, for many years trees have been harvested more rapidly than they have been replaced. For this reason, other ways must be used to help increase wood and wood product sustainability.
