Alabama Forestry Facts

  • Alabama is 68% woodlands.
  • Over 15 million acres of Alabama's timberland is privately owned by individuals just like you.
  • Well managed forests in Alabama are home to 1.4 million white tail deer and 350,000 wild turkeys.
  • In an average year, 16% of timber growth is lost to natural mortality due to insect infestation, fire, and disease. Good timber management can help reduce this loss.
  • The past two years have seen epidemic levels of Southern Pine Beetle infestations. Over stocked forests and older pine trees are most prone to attack. Proper thinning increases the growth of the remaining trees which reduces the chance of loss.
