Wyoming group puts pine-beetle-killed wood to work
Posted on Wednesday, January 20, 2010An informal array of residents and officials have joined to help find a market for beetle-infested timber that is expected to be removed from the Medicine Bow and Routt national forests over the next several years. The group, which has no formal title, includes Wyoming State Forester Bill Crapser and Jerry Paxton, Carbon County Commission vice chairman, as well as current and retired Forest Service officials. The group spearheaded the effort to convert a former mill site and is looking to bring in industries that can make use of the dead timber.
