Composite Framing Lumber Index ($/1, 000 thousand board feet) Sea-Sno mill to close Seattle-Snohomish Mill Co. Inc. , of Snohomish, Wash. , notified employees last week that the mill would close permanently in March, according to the Everett Herald newspaper. Megan Mc. Murray, owner of the mill, said the collapse of the housing market was a major factor in the decision to shut down. The mill had about 50 employees, and produced green Fir and dry Hem-Fir lumber. 1/24/2012 Source: Random Lengths NE Landscape Committee, Feb 15, 2012
Composite OSB Composite Index ($/1, 000 sq’ feet) Hambro exits particleboard industry Hambro Forest Products has closed its particleboard facilities in Lenoir, N. C. , and in Arcata and Crescent City, Calif. Hambro intends to sell its plants in Lenoir and Arcata and will mothball the Crescent City facility to ensure it could be reopened if market conditions warrant in the future. The company cited a prolonged slump in demand for the closures. Hambro had produced particleboard since 1964. - 12/13/2011 Source: Random Lengths NE Landscape Committee, Feb 15, 2012

Cost Pressures Facing Industry • Transportation • Energy • Reliable and Affordable Timber Supply (Forest Management) NE Landscape Committee, Feb 15, 2012
Cost Pressures--Transportation • Access (all season access) • Maintain forest road infrastructure and bridges – Indentify good access high productive areas for long-term management • Increase transportation weights (interstate) – MN Law allowing additional weight hauling with sixth axel estimated savings of $8. 3 million, annually.

Energy—MN Forest Products Industry ü Capital investments of more than $500 million in co-generation facilities. ü More than 1. 2 million tons of wood waste are used to generate electricity. ü Mills with co-generation facilities meet 11 -75 percent of energy needs. ü 32 percent of energy needs are self generated (SG) ü 28 percent of energy is produced from biomass or water (hydro).

Viable Forest Products Industry = Healthy Forests What we know: Areas where the forest products industry and logging infrastructure was lost greatly impacts forest health, over time. Aging forests become more susceptible to insects disease and eventually will be set-back with large scale disturbances, wildfire. NE Landscape Committee, Feb 15, 2012
Key Points • Remaining Industry and Infrastructure has survived some extremely tough times • Contractions will continue in the U. S. • how can MN forest products industry survive • What can the NE Landscape Committee do to encourage a climate of modernization, expansion and recruitment • The variables that the NE Committee can influence • Forest management • infrastructure (roads, access, planning) • improving forest health • Increasing forest productivity, higher quality timber, more volume per acre. NE Landscape Committee, Feb 15, 2012
Key Points -- Sawmills • Hurt by reductions in overall harvest volume • Favoring saw timber guidelines in leave tree guidelines’ • many of these blow down • Rotation ages of red pine stands getting high • Final harvest and regeneration of pine stands • Thinning intensity, should we be thinning more often • Intense competition for saw timber • Markets are still not the best • May see additional mill shutdowns in the state, if supply situation does not improve NE Landscape Committee, Feb 15, 2012
