This is the main reason we harvest trees, right? To make houses, furniture, pencils... well that's only part of the story because lumber is only part of the tree. There are so many different parts to trees that we can make over five thousand different products from them. And we can use every part of the tree— the solid wood, the wood pulp, the bark, sugars and cellulose. The usefulness of the tree doesn't stop there...many wood products are recovered, recycled, and reused everyday. In fact many egg cartons and cereal boxes are made entirely out of recycled fiber.

So you see, we can get more out of a tree than just wood!
