Coronavirus Update: Two Year Extension for Montana Timber Contracts 

What’s New:

I am pleased to announce that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will be providing timber sale contract holders with a two-year extension. This follows my direct request to USDA Secretary Perdue for relief for the wood products industry.

Why It Matters:

It’s critical we protect Montana timber jobs and industry during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. Active forest management not only supports good paying jobs but it protects our communities from the threat of wildfires and improves the conditions of our national forests.

What’s Next:

I’m glad the administration acted quickly on my request and I will continue fighting to help Montana timber get through this crisis.
