Vermont Legislative Breakfast A Success!
Last Friday, Dec. 6, marked a milestone in PLC history. Our first-ever Vermont Logger Legislative Breakfast brought together legislators, industry leaders, and partners in a meaningful dialogue about the future of Vermont’s logging and trucking industries and we are grateful to the many elected officials who took the time to join us.
We also want to express our deepest appreciation to the PLC members who attended. You are the heart and soul of this industry, and your dedication and expertise are the driving forces behind everything we do. Without you, none of this would be possible. Your presence and commitment are vital to shaping the future of Vermont’s forests and economy.
As we look to the 2025 legislative year, we are excited to continue working together for the long-term success of our industry and the well-being of Vermont’s natural resources. Together, we can achieve great things!
