Here's an excerpt from the OSU article, "$4.2 Million Grant to Invest in Indigenous Forestry Resource Development Programs":
"In January the U.S. Department of Commerce awarded a $4.2 million grant to the Clallam County Economic Development Council in Port Angeles, Washington, to advance Indigenous forestry resource development. The grant was matched with over $1 million in local funds from combined contributions by the Clallam County government, Oregon State University, Port of Port Angeles, Clallam County EDC, Composite Recycling Technology Center, Peninsula College, University of Washington’s Olympic Natural Resources Center and the City of Forks.
As part of this grant, College of Forestry Stewart Professor of Forest Operations, Woodam Chung, is advancing Investing in 'Forestry Skills: A Technology-Focused Workforce Training Program'. The initiative is designed to build a highly skilled and technologically advanced forestry workforce in Clallam and Jefferson Counties through comprehensive training and development. Additionally, it aims to address the critical workforce shortage, one of the most pressing challenges facing the forest industry today."
