From the President's Desk
I would like to thank all of the sponsors, vendors, staff, volunteers and people who attended the Great Lakes Logging and Heavy Equipment Expo in September. The event was a huge success and could not have been without all of you! As I am writing this month’s article, I am less than a week away from one of my annual big game archery hunts. This is a true passion of mine that I start preparing for about 4 months in advance.

GLTPA's Director's Notes
Carbon Credits and the sale of them is becoming more prevalent especially since markets for raw pulpwood have dwindled in recent months. In a current press release, Bluesource Partners with the State of Michigan and DTE Energy announced the first carbon offset program in the U.S. on State Forest lands. In Wisconsin, Bayfield County has an agreement, and several others are contemplating agreements to generate income from carbon sequestration.

GreenStone realizes the timber industry is different than any other. Business owners need to make large investments before making a profit, logging equipment depreciates at a rapid rate, and every step must be done keeping the health of the regenerative product in mind. GreenStone recognized this, dove in and learned it, and now has extensive knowledge and expertise in this industry.

It’s an example of what the industry calls a specialty paper – a paper developed for a specific purpose and to exacting specifications.
