Lillian Richard Hemp to Save Our Trees Worldwide we are seeing a devastation of our forests due to paper production. Consumption of wood products has risen 64% since 1961. Globally, pulp for paper, has risen from 40% in 1998, to an expected 60% over the next 50 years. The industry expects that demand to double by 2050.

Louisiana and parts of Arkansas, Texas, and Mississippi. However, during the 18th and 19th century, bear hunting became popular and large amounts of forest areas disappeared due to the demand for wood and agricultural land. By the 1950's, the Louisiana black bear's population was down to eighty to one hundred twenty.

Do you remember when construction crews came in and tore out an area of forest measuring about an acre on Rea Road and Tom Short Road you remember what to make a Kohls, a Nothing Bundt Cakes, and Several other stores?(Anecdote) Well, forests all over the globe are losing this amount every 1-2 seconds, so big-name corporations can build tree and food farms and create more space for cattle.

The Wonder I have always found nature to be so amazing from the hundreds of trees and flowers to the animals within the forest. Experiencing nature is one of the best things that could happen in your life. I have always lived near the woods so I can experience nature every day. I have always felt calm when I go into the woods so I go there when I feel stressed.

Needless to say, this was an extremely dangerous area. They built the dream of some settlers, “…a one-acre fort on the property containing four blockhouses, six log cabins, and a bullet proof front gate, all enclosed by sharpened, cedar-timber was fifteen feet high” (Gwynne 14).
