U.S. Secretary of Labor, Marty Walsh Visits PLC

The PLC was proud to host two active harvest site visits and an in-the-woods roundtable discussion on the needs of the logging industry Oct. 5 with U.S. Secretary of Labor, Marty Walsh organized by Congressman Jared Golden. Thank you to Sec. Walsh for taking time out of his busy schedule to talk directly with loggers and see the industry up close - including operating a grapple skidder and spending time in a processor.

Thank you also to Congressman Golden for making the visit happen and to PLC Member companies Maine Custom Woodlands and Trees Ltd. for hosting the site visits in Augusta and Fayette, Thanks also to PLC Members who joined the roundtable discussion. This was great exposure for Maine's logging industry!
