Port Blakely grows and markets renewable forest products around the globe owning and managing sustainable working forests in Washington, Oregon & New Zealand.
We need to cultivate our next generation of folks who work in the woods – it's how we strengthen our forest product economy for years to come.
Today, @RepLCD and I introduced a bipartisan bill to help young people build careers in the woods and access crucial job training. 🌲
🪵🌳 I just introduced the Jobs in the Woods Act with @RepMGP, which would expand workforce training opportunities to address the labor shortage in forestry and forestry-related industries.

If carbon is protein powder, trees are bodybuilders. Trees are about 50 percent carbon by dry weight (after you remove the water). That’s a big carbon offset bang for your real estate and actual buck, according to @esagor#forestproud#forests4climate#carbon#ClimateAction
We've lost a fierce advocate for sustainable forestry and a dear friend. So grateful for all Mark did to support our forests, our industry, and our state.
“Mark will always be remembered as a leader who brought forestry back to importance in Washington state.” - Court Stanley, former WFPA President and former Port Blakely President. https://t.co/709SLppGly
