We're aiming to expand career opportunities for young people in the timber industry by modifying existing labor laws to allow 16- and 17-year-olds to work safely in certain logging jobs. The Future in Logging Careers Act seeks to balance new job prospects with necessary safety measures, fostering growth in both experience and the workforce.
