Great News for Hardwoods!

May 14th saw a huge victory for the U.S. hardwood industry as our efforts to amend the "Green Schools" bill to include hardwoods were successful.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed our hardwood amendment by a vote of 425 to 7 and final House passage for “Green Schools” bill, H.R. 2187, with a recorded vote of 275 to 155 (largely along party lines). The bill specifically recognizes the environmental attributes of hardwoods.  Members voting against the amendment were Reps. Campbell (R-CA), Flake (R-AZ), King (R-IA), Petri (R-WI), Royce (R-CA), Sensenbrenner (R-WI), and Shadegg (R-AZ).
