Markets for Removed Materials: Because much of the hazardous fuel load in forests comprises excessive levels of forest-based biomass dead, diseased, and down trees and small-diameter trees, there are several benefits of finding economical uses for this material, including: helping offset forest restoration cost providing economic opportunities for rural forest-dependent communities reducing the risks of catastrophic wildfires protecting watersheds helping restore forest resiliency protecting the environment Forest Service research teams are working to develop new uses for small trees and new ways to process them.
