This is not the direct answer to the question, but it is possible to estimate how many trees are used in a year for paper towels based on the facts below...
As quoted in the Earth Threat dot org blog - originally found at Seventh Generation:
"544,000 trees would be saved by replacing a 70-sheet roll of virgin fiber paper towels." See the Related Links below for more information from both of these resources.

Paper towels are made from wood pulp that is processed and pressed into thin sheets. The pulp is mixed with water and chemicals to break down the fibers, then the mixture is spread out and dried to create the paper towel sheets. The sheets are then rolled and cut into individual paper towels for packaging and sale.
because there are only so many trees in the world. more and more trees are being chopped down as newspaper, magazines, schools, and printer companies are needing paper. sometimes forests are cut down before new trees can grow to replace the chopped trees. trees not only give us paper, but oxygen to breathe, wood to craft, and leaves to study and research.
