In other Business news: US building prices rise again; British Columbia seeks input on “polluter pay” system; Biewer Lumber ships its first load of lumber; Goodfellow Inc. reports positive Q1 results; and more on San Group’s purchase of Interfor mill. Meanwhile, stories on: mass timber, pulpwood insulation and wooden bellyboards?
In Forestry/Climate News: research groups claim BC is running out of trees; logging is exacerbating climate change; and that Drax and others receive subsidized logs. Elsewhere: Washington state is encouraged to save legacy forests; and National Geographic’s solution to the world’s threatened forests.
Finally, the Frogs are off until Monday, barring any breaking news. Happy Hopping!
