Do you ever wonder about the future of the timber industry in our rapidly changing world? This episode will take you deep into the heart of Northwest Montana, where innovation and sustainability are at the forefront of the timber sector. Together with our expert guests, Cameron Wohlschlegel, Lands & Resources Manager for F.H. Stoltze Land and Lumber, Ali Ulwelling, Montana Forest Action Plan Implementation Coordinator with the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, and Zack Miller, Raw Material Manager for Weyerhaeuser, we’ll examine how they are making a difference in the evolution of the forestry and wood products industry.
We'll discuss carbon sequestration, the role of forests in our ecosystem, and the latest technology that's making the industry safer than ever before. Our guests provide invaluable insights on the state of forest conditions, the necessity for apprenticeships, and the sustainable management of this vital resource. They'll also touch on some of the most common misconceptions about tree cutting, and we'll learn about the advantages of actively managed forests, and understand the importance of timber sales in job creation.
Join us for this vital conversation about our forests, logging, stewardship, and preserving our environment.
