DNR To Sponsor Mill Tours For Forest Products Week

 

*MADISON, Wis.* – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced it will sponsor a series of mill tours at several forest product manufacturing facilities across the state Oct. 14-18, 2024.

Attendees will have the chance to see how products are made from Wisconsin's forest resources and learn about the many career opportunities that exist in the state's forest products industry ahead of National Forest Products Week, a national celebration of forest products Oct. 20-26, 2024.

Tour locations include MacDonald & Owen Lumber Co., Action Floor Systems LLC, Menominee Tribal Enterprises and Stella-Jones Corporation.

The tours are open to anyone age 16 and older with an interest in forest products or those considering it as a career path. High school students, technical college students and the public are encouraged to attend.

All tours will run from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Tours typically start where raw materials enter the mill and will show each stage of the production process and how value is added at every step until a finished product is created, from maple sports floor systems to treated railroad ties.
