comments to the MFRC on Minnesota's Forest Management Guidelines

The Minnesota Logger Education Program
submitted comments to the Minnesota
Forest Resources Council (MFRC) regarding the Timber Harvesting and
Forest Management
Guidelines. Our comments were based on the direct input we
received from loggers and foresters who completed the FMG survey. A
total of 225 surveys were completed. Additional input was also
collected during two focus group sessions. Thank you to
everyone who completed a survey and participated in the focus
groups. Your comments and insight provided essential information! |

Forest Resources" and "Public Stumpage Review" Reports Available |
The
DNR's annual report on Minnesota's Forest Resources is now

questions about Minnesota's forest resources such as current
conditions, trends in forest resources and forest resource industrial
use. Loggers, foresters, natural resource managers,
planners, people employed in forest industry and forest policy makers
will find items of interest in the report.
The Public Stumpage Report contains
average stumpage prices received by all Minnesota
public agencies in 2008 for the following product classifications:
sawtimber, bolts, pulpwood, and fuelwood. Information presented may be
useful for determining the total volume and value of stumpage sold and
for comparing relative volumes and values of sawtimber and pulpwood
sold during the reporting period by public agencies in Minnesota.
