PITTSBURGH, April 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- If a tree is harvested in the woods and no one is there to replenish it...what happens to our forests?
The second episode of season two teaches fans about sustainable lumber manufacturing. The episode explores how West Fraser gets the most valuable wood products out of every log to supply the demand for lumber used in construction across North America. The episode also highlights how trees are replanted to replenish what is harvested, ensuring the continuation of a fully renewable, natural resource business.
