the lumber industry as well as informative sites on issues concerning the
forestry industry. The site is well set up in that the side menu allows great

of Site |
It is not a commercial free site and has many
distractive boxes that pop up as well as the advertisements that are always
present. It is part of a larger site and a student could get lost but with
minimal knowledge of the internet navigating on this site should be easy. |
