fir

Little said he sees a “tremendous increase” in demand for the varieties of Douglas fir wood that are typically used for homebuilding in California.

With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the house had walls and floors of concrete complemented by a palette of redwood, teak, fir and glass block.

But one night this last December, against the cozy glow of my fake Douglas fir, I found myself acting completely out of character, sitting up to hurl insults at an advertisement on television.

By one estimate, just 3% of the park’s Douglas fir trees remain.

In fact, their results showed that there were positive gains at many levels including biodiversity, ecosystems and economic viability, especially for the combination of beech with Douglas fir.
