A renewable exhaustible natural resource isA renewable resource is one that can be replenished by natural processes or regeneration within a reasonable time.
A forest can regenerate, so it is renewable; but if it is exploited faster than it regrows, it can be used up, so it is also exhaustible.
Coal, petroleum and minerals take millions of years to form; they are non-renewable exhaustible resources.
Hence a renewable exhaustible natural resource is the forest.
