Things We Get From Trees
 
 
 

Did you know that more than 5,000 common products come from wood? Many, such as paper, lumber and furniture are obvious. Others, like food thickeners, pharmaceuticals and glue might not be quite as easy to identify. Americans depend on forest products more than they might realize. In fact, every American consumes enough forest products each year to create a tree 100 feet tall and 16 inches in diameter!
