As of 2014, Florida timberland ownership, which supports the forest products industry, was 71 percent private, 1 percent state and local, and 11 percent federal. Florida’s 15.4 million acres of timberlands supported economic activities that generated $16.09 billion in total output impacts in 2014. (FDACS 2017)
