Vandervort, yard manager, Mark

Matson Lumber is a member of the
NHLA, the Hardwood Manufacturers
Association, the American Hardwood
Export Council, the Allegheny Hardwood
Utilization Group and the Hardwood
Federation. Craig has served
as chair of the Pennsylvania Forest
Products Association and was on the
Green Ribbon Task Force commissioned
by Gov. Tom Wolf to advance
the lumber industry.
“The forests of tomorrow are shaped by the
practices of today,” Craig noted. “Timber is a
renewable resource, and we are committed to
growing high-quality, Hardwood forests for the
future. This commitment ensures that we can
provide high-quality Hardwood lumber without
compromising the ability of the next generation
to meet their needs.
“We recognize that with forest ownership
comes the responsibility of stewardship,” Craig
explained. “Every one of our management
plans is embedded with measures for wildlife
habitat protection, watershed protection, and
soil conservation. Most often our practices exceed
the requirements of regulatory agencies,
whether it is not disturbing sensitive habitats
such as wetlands or nesting sites, maintaining
riparian buffer zones, or sensible road construction
methods that minimize soil erosion
and impact to aquatic habitats.”

Matson employees carry out dry line grading.
Kiln-dried lumber accounts for 60 percent of Matson’s products. The rest of
the lumber is green.
