How do we not run out of wood?

Question

If trees take years to grow and we use and burn so much wood, how does we not run out of wood?

Answer 1

A lot of wood comes from managed parks and forests where we are constantly replanting trees to make up for the ones that we cut down. The forests / parks get mapped out into sectors, and the lumber companies rotate through those sectors.

Unfortunately sometimes lumber comes from forests where that approach isn’t applied, in which case those areas are going to run thin on trees in the future.
