Challenges in the Forestry Sector Can Be an Opportunity for Employers
The forestry sector has recently faced some challenges that has made it more difficult for employers to find valuable talent. One opinion writer from Trail Times notes, “The industry has benefited from high lumber prices during this time of disruption, with prices pushing to the high $500 range this spring, fueled by a strong US market. But lumber prices have dropped dramatically in recent months to just above $300 as housing starts have fallen in the US, and local mills are feeling the crunch.”
