BOARD OF DIRECTORS In 1906, the Adirondack Lumber Manufacturers and Shippers Association was
formed to help track declining inventories of Adirondack softwood and
promote the emerging science of forestry. Three years later the name was
changed to the Empire State Forest Products Association to reflect the
addition of new members from other regions of the state and a growing
statewide interest. Today the Association enjoys a diverse and growing membership. Membership
stands at over 400 businesses and individuals and is growing.
Members include forest landowners, timber harvesters, furniture companies,
lumber manufacturers, pulp and paper companies, and other wood product
manufacturers from across New York state. Members own and manage 1.2
million acres of New York forests and employ over one-third of the 65,000
individuals employed in the forest products industry in New York state. |
