forest product

Wood from trees

Forest product is anything harvested or derived from forests—timber, lumber, pulpwood, firewood, but also non-wood products like maple syrup, nuts, mushrooms, and medicinal plants.

The term appears most often in forestry, environmental policy, and trade contexts: The region's economy depends heavily on forest products.
