Ponsse Awards ALC Einari Vidgren Foundation Grant
The American Loggers Council (ALC) has been selected by the Einari Vidgren Foundation “As an Honorary Award of very important work for logging and the whole forest industry,” says Juha Vidgren, Chairman of the Board for the Einari Vidgren Foundation, Finland. This award amounts to $5,000 in support of the ALC’s national work to promote the sustainable timber industry in the U.S.
“The Einari Vidgren Foundation is working globally to find companies and associations, which make their work sustainable in a responsible way. Forestry work has a very important role in finding solutions for climate change, and giving education and knowledge to our work is one of the Foundation’s roles,” adds Vidgren.
ALC shares the same commitment to public education and promotion of the environmental and economic benefits of sustainable forest management as Vidgren envisioned through the Einari Vidgren Foundation. This award will be applied to furthering that mission.
