Logging to develop forest products can be beneficial! In some cases, logging can help an ecosystem in need of disturbance & regeneration.

It's best to consult professional foresters who can provide science- and place-based plans for forest management.

Did you know?: The wood pellet sector consumes over 5 million tons of sawmill residuals, 1.3 million tons of wood product manufacturing residuals and 6 million tons of other woody residuals every year? This maximizes the value of every harvested log. #nationalforestproductsweek22

@HPBA_ Great graphic.

With only a few months left of the year, make sure you take advantage of the 2021-2022 Tax Credit on Wood and Pellet stoves. For more information, check out our blog posts on the current and upcoming tax credits and which appliances qualify.

As we continue on our journey to a #decarbonized society, #renewableenergy, #sustainable products and materials, and low-carbon / #carbon positive solutions are going to be key. #forestproductsweek #bioenergyday2022

The last stop in the wood pellet supply chain are the proprietors of hearth stores. We stopped in to visit Chad @TheStoveDepot yesterday to talk about the heating season, pellet demand, the impact of the tax credit on appliance sales. #nationalforestproductsweek22

A man in his element. Pat Curran at @curranrenewables has spent a life in the woods, sustainably managing them and finding ways to add value. Spent a day with him this week to celebrate #nationalforestproductsweek22. Thanks Pat.

Not sure I could have picked a better place to celebrate #nationalforestproductsweek22. @curranpellets is a sterling example of sustainable use of our forest resource. Pat Curran is an impressive professional. Happy to have him in our association.

[Softwood Lumber Board @LumberBoard]

Today marks the start of #NationalForestProductsWeek, which celebrates the important role forests play in our environment and value of forest products in our economy. Share with us what forest-built products and projects have inspired you.

FRA celebrates #NationalForestProductsWeek

Join us as we recognize the valuable economic resources such as lumber, paper, and clean air, along with millions of American jobs supported by the Forest Products industry.

Hats off to our members putting people to work in this amazing value-added forest products industry we work in. PFI is on the road for the first half of the week, seeing forest products manufacturing in New York and Vermont. #nationalforestproductsweek

@wood2energy E- These are the persistent issues that have dominated our board meeting 'round-up' discussions.

[Eric Kingsley @wood2energy]

Top industry concerns expressed at Maine Forest Products Council meeting:
-Workforce
-Fiber cost and availability
-Loss of loggers
-Fuel prices
-Inflation
-Trucking
These...all might be the same thing (or so interconnected that they can't be distinguished)

[Pellet Fuels Inst @PelletFuel]

@wood2energy Don't forget that some wood pellet appliances qualify for a federal tax credit. https://t.co/1lLGixiqj8

[Eric Kingsley @wood2energy]

If you heat with oil (looking at you, rural New England), save $$ and support the local economy by switching to wood pellets

[Pellet Fuels Inst @PelletFuel]

@woodbiomag Thanks for the tweet WB. It promises to be an interesting year. Every pellet producer in the world is hearing from buyers and pellet aggregators. Important to keep in context the size of U.S. domestic market. Roughly 2 million tons itself.

[Biomass Magazine @BiomassMagazine]

We chatted with @TimPortz , Executive Director of @PelletFuel in our latest podcast! With the passing of the landmark Inflation Reduction Act: What's in it for modern wood heating?

Another thing worth noting is the significant difference with regard to volatility. There's been times when pellets got beat by heating oil (slightly and not for long) but the long view tells the whole story.

[Pellet Fuels Inst @PelletFuel]

The economic argument for heating a home with wood pellets has never been more stark. Great analysis by our friends over at FutureMetrics.
