Increased logging in the United States could lead to problems with thinnings and sawmill by-products. In Montana, 36 sawmills have closed since the 1990s. Only six remain.<\/span><\/p>\n

An online article from Montana Public Radio explores the impacts and consequences of increased federal logging in the United States. Montana Public Radio is a network of public radio stations owned by the University of Montana. One of the remaining sawmills is Sun Mountain Lumber. The company saws Douglas fir and contorts.<\/p>\n

\u201cA steady and reliable supply of logs is crucial,\u201d says Sean Steinebach , a representative for the sawmill company.<\/p>\n

Sun Mountain is one of the largest employers in the area and has an impact on the entire county's economy.<\/p>\n

The supply puzzle<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Donald Trump's executive order is opening up federal forests to logging, a move that environmental groups say could be devastating to wildlife and water quality.<\/p>\n

Julia Altemus, president of the Montana Wood Products Association, a wood processing industry organization , sees most plants closing without a steady flow of wood. She welcomes the president's executive order.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we have left, we can\u2019t lose anymore. Manufacturing plants are very capital-intensive. Once you lose one, it\u2019s hard to get it back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mindy Crandall, an assistant professor of forest policy at the University of Oregon, sees federal forests as just one part of the supply equation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a complex market. We have public timber, we have private timber, we import timber, and we don\u2019t know exactly what\u2019s going to happen to this puzzle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Problematic by-products<\/strong><\/p>\n

When logging companies apply for additional logging on federal lands, they must also take thinnings. This means harvesting smaller trees and producing a proportionally larger number of by-products, such as wood chips and sawdust. The number of companies that use these by-products from sawmills has decreased.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you can't give that material away, it becomes an additional cost,\u201d Crandall says.<\/p>\n

Sun Mountain sawmill receives more than 15 semi-trailer trucks of these byproducts every day. The company pays to ship them out of state.<\/p>\n

Steinbach said other actions by the Trump administration are creating uncertainty. Federal grants that could help keep the facility afloat are being suspended for the time being.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
