Randy Schild, Tillamook School District superintendent since 2001, discusses the economic contributions of Oregon's forest sector not just to his school district, but to schools across the state.

Oregon’s forests have deep meaning to almost every Oregon citizen. We value our forests for so many reasons, including recreation, clean air and water, and sustainable wood products just to name a few. To sustain these value, it takes a large and diverse group of people, working hard every day, to make sure these forest values are protected.
