We will look for ways to work with the new Administration and Congressional leaders but will not hesitate to challenge proposals that we believe will be harmful to the industry. Our elected officials will continue to hear from us about the value of our industry to the U.S. economy and why it is important they make the right deci- sions on proposals impacting our companies...and why the wrong decisions can devastate our industry. The Hardwood Federation is very grateful for the tremendous support and engagement we receive from readers of the National Hardwood Magazine. We could not continue without it and very much look forward to working with your staff and members in the coming year. n Wheeland Lumber: Responsible, Renewable & Sustainable We are FSC ® Certified by NEPCon, a partner of the Rainforest Alliance Ask for our FSC® Certified Products With other specialized services including: • Veneer Logs & #1 Saw Logs • Kiln Dried Lumber • Clear Strips • Surfacing-2-Sides • Gang Ripping / Parallel Sawing • Straight Line Ripping • Optimized Cross Cut • End Matching • Edged & Face Glued Products • Molding Millwork Wheeland Lumber Company, Inc. 3558 Williamson Trail Liberty, PA 16930-9065 USA Phone: 570.324.6042 Fax: 570.324.2127 WheelandLumber.com 19WLC-PFC-NationalHardwoodsMag-ProgramAd-G APRIL 2021 n NATIONAL HARDWOOD MAGAZINE 51
