Hardwood Market Symposium

A symposium on the management, processing and marketing of alder and other Northwest hardwoods will be held at the LaSells Stewart Center on the Oregon State University campus Oct. 30 to Nov. l.

The program will be one of the first to bridge the gap between the growth, processing and. marketing of the Northwest hardwood resource. Any person with an interest in any of these areas will find it most useful in understanding the factors which have limited the utilization of alder and other hardwood, according to a spokesman for the conference.

Solutions to some of the limiting factors will be introduced. When applied across the hardwood spectrum from management to marketing, they are expected to expand utilization of this valuable resource.
