Trees for today and tomorrow

The forest products industry is the economic mainstay of thousands of people living in northeastern Minnesota. From loggers and truck drivers to board plant, sawmill and paper mill workers, producing forest products is more than just a job. It is a way of life. Because of this, forest health and regeneration receive special care and attention.
