Speaker Highlight

Habitat Conservation Plans (HCP) have proven to be in opposition to the forest products industry. Washington State implemented an HCP nearly 25 years ago resulting in a significant decrease of the timber harvest, both hardwoods and softwoods. The Northwest has long been touted as the nations wood basket. Now with an Oregon HCP, we may see more decreases in timber harvest. This affects log supply worldwide. We are privileged to have Ben Deumling, Zena Forest Products, who will discuss his firsthand knowledge of the Oregon HCP process and the effect on log supply.
