“…Harvest volumes presented in this report for calendar year 2016 came from the FIDACS census of Four Corners and out-of-state mills receiving timber harvested from the region. Periodic state-level reports (Green and Setzer 1974;Hayes et al 2012;Keegan et al 1995;Keegan et al 2001a,b;McLain 1985;McLain 1988;McLain 1989;Morgan et al 2006;Setzer 1971a,b;Setzer and Barrett 1977;Setzer and Shupe 1977;Setzer and Throssell 1977a,b;Setzer and Wilson 1970;Sorenson et al 2016;Wilson and Spencer 1967) provided the bulk of historic timber harvest information. Small differences may exist between the numbers reported here and those in Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service "cut and sold" reports.…”

This report traces the flow of timber harvested in the "Four Corners" States (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah) during calendar year 2016, describes the composition and operations of the region's primary forest products industry, and quantifies volumes and uses of wood fiber. Recent wood products industry changes are discussed, as well as trends in timber harvest, production, and sales of primary wood products.

“…Due to steep terrain and the slow rate at which vegetation grows in thin mountain air, Colorado has never been a major timber exporter. Additionally, the (Sorenson et al, 2016). Today the Forest Service's "Timber Harvest and Forest Products Industry" reports that are typically produced for individual states include Colorado in the "Four Corners" region (referring to the way that the four corners of the borders of Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico converge) because timber harvests are so low in the state and region it is necessary to group them together (Vaughan and Mackes, 2014).…”

Narrating disturbance : risk, power, and Mountain Pine Beetles

Beginning in the mid 1990's, an outbreak of Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) in northern Colorado affected over 3.4 million acres of primarily lodgepole pine forest. Mountain Pine Beetle are native to these forests, but the outbreak occurred at an unprecedented scope and scale, reflecting the legacy of forest management policies since the early days of European settlement and evoking new experiences and understandings of landscape in the resource-dependent region. Like much of the American West, this region is in the midst of a transition away from traditional extractive economies towards economies rooted in natural amenities and aesthetic landscape consumption. This transition is accompanied by demographic and cultural shifts, and has implications for the way that natural spaces are understood and ideas about what activities should orient people's relationships to the natural world. Across the disturbance affected area, three sites were selected to represent economic ideal types, ranging from high amenity resort destinations to small rural communities with strong roots in extraction. With data drawn from local newspapers, local and regional organizational publications, state and federal forest service documents and 26 interviews with subjects representing actor groups across the region, local narratives of environmental change were explored through the lens of green governmentality to understand how experiences of environmental change were contextualized by ongoing economic restructuring and cultural shifts. The meaning of the changing image of the landscape, the history of the timber industry in the state and competing narratives of industry decline, and the historic implications of forest management policies in disturbance-dependent forests are explored to shed light on the way that perceptions of landscape are anchored in complex social terrain and how nature can evoke new understandings of nature.
