WVFA Mountain State Forestry Fall 2021

F E A T U R E D N E W S 16 West Virginia Forestry Association Mountain State Forestry | Fall 2021 www.wvfa.org We encourage every company in the hardwood supply chain to explore how they can participate at www.realamericanhardwood.org , the website built especially for hardwood companies, executives, and employees. By including the Real American Hardwood logo on hardwood lumber, manufactured goods, trucks, websites, marketing materials, and business cards, we can all work together spread the word and raise awareness of naturally authentic American Hardwood! The website provides everything needed to start, including downloadable graphics and guidelines for use. Visit www.realamericanhardwood.org to start. Thanks to the hard work and financial support of over 25 industry associations, we have built the primary infrastructure to engage the hardwood industry in raising the profile of our amazing hardwood products…from the raw materials to industrial products to the finished goods used to furnish homes. We have only begun our work to reach the millions of domestic consumers of Real American Hardwood items. RAHC priorities for the coming year include building significant industry participation in brand and logo use, creating and launching a consumer-focused website highlighting the multiple benefits of hardwood products, and expanding industry association membership in the RAHC. There is still much to be done and we are open to all those interested in helping with our efforts! RAHC members are presenting at industry events across the country to build support. Check out our calendar of upcoming events…and let us know if you would like a presentation at your upcoming meeting. We look forward to seeing the RAH logo popping up across the country, promoting the naturally authentic beauty and benefits of Real American Hardwood! Questions?
