Maine Forest Service Skidder Bridge Loan Program Survey
The Maine Forest Service (MFS) skidder bridge loan program provides steel and wooden skidder?bridges to the logging community at various locations statewide. Please follow the link below to?share your thoughts on the existing program to help the MFS make better informed decisions on enhancing and/or expanding this program to better serve Maine?s forest products industry.
There is currently an opportunity to enhance and/or expand the skidder bridge loan program using?federal funds from the Inflation Reduction Act legislation which would allow MFS to replace wooden?bridges with steel, and/or purchase additional bridges to service new locations around the?state. Funds may also be used to administer a cost share program, where qualified participants?could purchase skidder bridge panels out-right at a reduced cost. We are eager to hear from the?forestry community about how these funds should be best utilized. Please take the survey by March 1, 2023.
Thank you
