n a recent sunny, cold November
morning, about three dozen
people gathered in clearing in
the woods in New Gloucester.
As they shuffled to keep warm,
Steve Chandler, the landowner, spoke
for more than an hour about the his-
tory of his family's woodlots, how the
lots are harvested and today's market
for locally produced lumber.
It was the first stop on the third
annual Maine Wood + Sustainabilty Tour,
one part of Local Wood Works' effort to
advance economic development initiatives
centered around the region's forests.
ose taking the tour were not only
woodlot owners, but architects, engi-
neers and builders, as well as consumers.
