The Timber Economy / Frogs

The closing of two major wood processing mills in the North Country has created a challenge for forest managers. How do you sustain healthy acres of growth if there's no place to send your harvested wood? We'll look at that and the effects globalization is having on lumber producers in New Hampshire. We're joined by two guests for this conversation:

Jason Stock is the executive director of the New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association.
Will Abbott is the vice president of policy and land management at the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests.

Later in the show, we'll talk to resident naturalist Rosemary Conroy about all the frog songs that are filling the New Hampshire air this time of year. It's mating season, and the vernal pools are filled with Peepers, Wood Frogs and many others. Rosemary will help us decipher who's making what noise.
