Wood Products Extension at NC State University was awarded a US Forest Service grant to support the forest products industry in promoting their products and to grow sales, profitability and employment. Additionally, this project focuses on finding better markets for low grade and small-diameter trees in order to help implement better forest management practices.
We are reaching out to everyone involved in the forest and wood products industry from landowners through harvesting, processing and distribution of forest and wood products.
The staff working on the duties of the grant include Harry Watt, Phil Mitchell, and Frederik Laleicke of NCSU Wood Products Extension, the Utilization Forester of the NC Forest Service, and Carla Harper of West65Inc, a marketing business.
We are working to identify every NC business involved with the production and distribution of forest products. We would appreciate your company taking a few minutes to complete a one-page Business Information Form for each site of your business operation.
