Building Products Digest Spotlights Eastern White Pine	2010-10-01

Check out the September issue of Building Products Digest for this year’s annual spotlight on Eastern White Pine! This is the seventh consecutive year that the Digest has published its yearly special section that showcases the species and the Association. NELMA is pleased to have provided two articles for the 7-page insert. This included a thorough review of the environmental advantages of Eastern White Pine in an article titled, “Building Today, Benefiting Tomorrow”. The second article is a 4-page recount on helpful items developed by NELMA to assist lumber retailers in selling Eastern White Pine products, titled “Marketing Eastern White Pine: 10 Tools to Help Get the Job Done”. A special thanks to Alan Oakes, Publisher of Building Products Digest, for providing NELMA with this opportunity to get the word out about Eastern White Pine to their 17,000+ subscribers. In addition, NELMA would like to thank the Association members that made this special section possible through their advertisements: Hancock Lumber, Seaboard International Forest Products, Sandy Neck Traders, and H.G. Wood Industries.
