When it comes to Michigan’s natural resources, no one cares more for protecting these precious resources more than us.  In the forest products industry, we have much at stake when it comes to the health of the forest—our work is there, but so are our homes, families, and communities in which we live.  Many of us in the forest products business are multi-generational family-run small businesses. Sixty-five percent of Michigan’s forestland is privately owned.
