NHTOA Executive Director Jasen Stock just wrapped a DC trip, flying with NHTHC president and NHTOA board member Bruce and NHTHC board member Matt Magoon. This was part of the American Loggers Council annual meeting and DC fly-in. We met with all offices of the N.H. Congressional delegation, including personal visits with Congressman Chris Pappas and Congresswoman Annie Kuster. We discuss a wide range of issues affecting timber harvesting, wood processing, and landowners. They included, Endangered Species Act, workforce and trucking shortages, Farm Bill priorities for New Hampshire’s forestry community, and the importance of maintaining an active forest management program on the White Mountain National Forest.
