The California timber industry is bouncing back and that’s good news all around. At its peak back in 1988, the California timber harvest yielded 4.67 billion board feet. When the housing bubble popped that number dropped down to an abysmal 805 million board feet in 2009. But now with construction orders on the rise, it looks like timber is also adding to the stockyards. In 2011 there was 1.29 billion board feet harvested and that number just keeps going up.
