Rhode Island forestry push urged by Weyerhaeuser official
Ernest A. Denomme of Weyerhaeuser Timber Co urged Rhode Island residents to expand tree planting and forest management to cut eyesores from cutting fires and pests. He noted 10 million feet of production and the company’s milestone of one billion feet of lumber, plus CCC praise, Arbor Day participation, and water shed preservation as drought years like 1949 highlighted the need.
