In this episode, host Zach Urness talks about an in-depth story that he wrote about the past, present and future of Oregon's timber industry.

The story and podcast look at the history of Oregon's most important and influential industry and the current push by the Trump administration to increase logging. Urness also examines the rise of "mass timber," a new style of building that could improve the health of Oregon's forests, boost the rural economy and create cheaper affordable housing in Portland and beyond.
