HANCEVILLE, Ala. – Louisiana-Pacific Hanceville, along with the Alabama Association of RC&D Councils, recently donated a pallet of paper to Hanceville Elementary School in celebration of the Alabama Forestry Association’s Alabama Woods to Goods Week.
Keith Plott, Lora Gilliand and Erin Walker from Louisiana- Pacific presented the donation to Hanceville Elementary School Principal Stacie Olinger. Kelly Crawford, owner and operator of K&K Logging, was also in attendance and donated copies of “Lucy Meets a Logger” to the school library. While visiting the school the representatives also read the book to first-grade students.
The donation is one of many that happened across the state as part of AFA’s Alabama Woods to Goods Week celebrations. The donations are designed to provide schools with the forest products that are essential to the work that they perform daily to educate Alabama’s future workforce.
These donations are made possible by the generosity of Alabama Woods to Goods Week partners and sponsors. Alabama Woods to Goods Week is a week-long promotional event to celebrate forestry’s professionals, products and industry. This year’s celebration is sponsored by the Alabama Association of RC&D Councils.
Gov. Kay Ivey proclaimed the third week in October Alabama Woods to Goods Week, which coincides with National Forest Products Week. Celebrations across the state included mill tours, log site visits, forest product donations and other educational events to highlight the industry’s environmental, community and economic impact.
