FROM THE EDITOR ~ 
Craig Rawlings
Dear Readers:

Among many other duties, I'm a Board Member for the Intermountain Roundwood Association (IRA) which is based out of Seeley Lake, Montana. As the only organization dedicated to the post and pole industry, IRA's mission is to produce and market quality roundwood products for work, play and life.

The IRA's quarterly newsletter is hot off the presses and I thought you might like to take a gander. Just click this link to download the PDF. If you harvest, manufacture or market roundwood and you're not yet a member, I highly encourage you to join. This is a vital organization looking out for your economic and educational interests. You can join by clicking this link.

Happy Holidays,

Craig Rawlings
