WOODY FIBER FARMING: AN ECOLOGICALLY SOUND AND PRODUCTIVE USE OF RIGHTS-OF-WAY

The paper presents a method whereby the cost of right-of-way maintenance can be reduced without polluting the environment. Biomass, nutrient, and pulping studies performed over a 12-year period led to the Complete Tree Concept, which evolved into the Complete Forest Concept and more recently the Woody Fiber Production and Utilization Concept. Woody fiber farming of rights-of-way is reported to be a practical application of the Woody Fiber Production and Utilization Concept.
