At one point, a crew of loggers had approached.

But this tree diversity, while a boon for wildlife, is also attractive to loggers, commanding high prices at markets as luxury timber.

Established and funded by Brooks-Scanlon, Brooks Resources and its shareholders, The Bend Foundation was originally formed in 1947 as a resource for injured loggers and millworkers, and to provide scholarships for mill industry workers.

The same tools that can help expand a green bioeconomy can also help illegal loggers and miners chase the biggest windfalls.

Hixon said the committee would also be looking for a path to help loggers and foresters find a processor for their products.
