FROM THE EDITOR ~ 
Craig Rawlings
Dear Readers:

My message is brief this week since I'm in Portland, Oregon for a tour of Sustainable Northwest's wood distribution center. There are several of us from around the country and part of the Community Forestry Business Alliance that are touring the distribution facility. Have a great week and see you next Wednesday!

Best wishes,

Craig Rawlings
