While the American hardwood sector has managed to hold its own over the past year of global trade, no one predicted the changes that 2020 would bring to the forest products economy. To catch up on the state of international hardwood trade, The Northern Logger podcast spoke with Mike Snow of the American Hardwood Export Council and Dana Cole of the Hardwood Federation.

On this month’s Northern Logger podcast, we interviewed Kevin Braman, a logger in Central Vermont who works by himself and uses a chainsaw and skidder to get the job done. We spoke with Braman about his 35 years in the business and what he has learned about caring for the woods and growing good timber.

It has been a rocky year for log and lumber markets, to say the least. In this month’s podcast, we give an update on the state of the industry in the northeast and talk to friends of the podcast, procurement forester Allan Ryder and logger Andy Clark , about the state of things.
