Northeast Forest Products Industry Outlook Webinar Slated for March 25

ENFIELD, Conn. — With the resumption of a 25% tariff on U.S. imports of Canadian goods, the forest-products industry is navigating a complex landscape in 2025. Farm Credit East and Horizon Farm Credit will host a webinar on Tuesday, March 25 at noon, which will delve into the implications of these tariffs, the state of the North American housing market, and the forecast for softwood lumber consumption.

Paul Jannke, a forest industry expert with Forest Economic Advisors, will present his perspective on the region’s forest-product markets and economic outlook. Attendees will learn how softwood lumber, pulp, and housing-market supply and demand will impact the industry in the year ahead.

This webinar is free to attend, and attendees do not need to be Farm Credit East or Horizon Farm Credit customers. Society of American Foresters CFE credits have been approved.
