I wish to honor National Forest Products Week. I would simply like to express my support for newly available and continuously evolving opportunities to build with wood. In the State of Idaho, the forest products industry makes significant…

How do you see this playing out? I mean, this is a problem that looks to me like it is just going to overwhelm the planet.
