Vermont Wood Industry Outlook To Be Studied
Vermont officials will hold a series of one hour meetings across the state to explain future timber supply to wood industry leaders. Drawn from a U S Forest Service survey with Vermont, findings compare with 1948 data noting a 16 percent rise in commercial forest land but a drop in saw timber from 7.6 to 6.6 billion board feet. Future timber looks favorable though quality timber remains scarce. Meetings target sawmill owners logging operators state planners and others in the industry with sessions led by Montpelier foresters at mills and offices from January through February in Brattleboro Bristol Randolph Lyndonville White River Junction Jeffersonville Manchester and Chester.
