Government disbursing $4MM in grants for use of woody debris. $1MM going to Montana companies

The federal government is disbursing some $4 million in grants to encourage innovative uses of low-value trees and woody debris removed from national forests, with nearly one-fourth of that money going to Montana recipients.

Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer says the grants will go to 17 small businesses and community groups.

Montana recipients are Big Sky Shavings in Hall; Marks Ranch and Lumber in Clancy; Osler Logging in Bozeman; and the Kootenai Business Park Industrial District in Libby. Marks will get $211,500 and the others $250,000 each.
