• Maine Forest Products Council
  Maine’s forest products industry certainly has reached a turning point, but there’s more to talk about than closed pulp and paper mills and biomass energy plants. Technology and changing demands have transformed the global market, but also created opportunities. The Maine Forest Products Council is working with the University of Maine to develop a road map to help our state grasp those opportunities. In this second edition of Maine’s Forest Economy, the Council brings together updated facts and figures on our industry, including new University of Maine research on its economic impact.
