Assessing the Market Potential of Roundwood Recreational Buildings
Fire- and disease-prone forests arise from overabundant stands of small-diameter timber. A means of restoring forest health is to thin these dense stands, but the resulting small-diameter round wood (SDR) harvest is perceived as having marginal value and use. To better understand this perception, we explored the market potential of using SDR in the recreational buildings market. Our primary goal was to estimate the market potential for recreational buildings constructed from SDR on National and State forests and parks. A questionnaire designed to determine the current and potential market size of public recreational buildings and the extent to which architects and builders would consider using SDR as a recreational building material was distributed to architects and building designers representing both Federal and State organizations.
