Everyone knows the economy is bleak right now. But, those involved in the forest products sector know it's been tough for a couple years already. Housing starts and log prices have been very soft for many months now and there's not a lot of light at the end of the tunnel. The OSU Extension Forestry program has put together a list of web resources to help landowners, loggers and forest products businesses. Visit the Tough Times in the Woods website. 

OSU Extension provides woodland owners and managers with resources to help make informed stewardship and management decisions. Classes, publications, newsletters, office and field consultations, and local applied research are all part of this effort. 

This site is designed to help serve the residents and woodland owners in Columbia and Washington Counties. Your feedback is much appreciated.
