Upvoted because it's a good summary, but could you offer a source for your claim that "most of this timber came from public lands"? This is surprising to me, and I'm wondering if this is a local phenomenon rather than a national claim. The very quick searching I did (https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/R45688.html) suggests that the harvest from NFS lands peaked at about 15% in the 1980's, and has been lower since.
