Trees are renewable resources because they can be replaced in a single lifetime and are replaced faster than they are harvested and used.

It can be maintained by responsible harvesting and use. One policy that many lumber companies advertise is that they plant a seed for every tree that they chop down.

Hope this helps! :)
