Help is on the way for loggers who have been affected by the pandemic.
The Pandemic Assistance for Timber Harvesters and Haulers program was able to include $200 million dollars into an appropriations bill. Which would act as a stimulus available for companies in the industry.
The main goal of the bill is to make sure that business stay a float after the need for paper and other construction type material was not in demand during the height of the pandemic, because everything was closed.
$200 million dollars going to logging companies.
Executive Director of the Logging Council Scott Danes says, “if we don t have the logging infrastructure, that’s the first link in the supply chain, if we don t have a strong logging infrastructure those mills can t survive.” Proving the importance of the logging companies.
