Wyoming’s few remaining lumber mills have been struggling, but a shift in federal and state timber policy might herald a new era for the industry here. Gov. Mark Gordon on Friday signed an executive order calling for an “increase of active forest management in Wyoming.” It mirrors President Donald Trump’s March 1 executive order for “immediate expansion of American timber production.” That might be the break that Wyoming logging companies and timber mills have for years been anxiously awaiting, Jenny Haider, of the Evanston-based Smith & Jones Timber Company, told Cowboy State Daily on Monday. The fourth-generation family-owned business has been going for 80 years but barely survived the past few, she said. …Trump’s order, coupled with tariffs on Canadian timber being imported into the US could be a game-changer for logging operations and mills in Wyoming. …Now, Wyoming timber companies are “using the word ‘hope’ again,” she added.
