Citing insufficient timber supply, Neiman Enterprises has cut back hours at both of its Black Hills sawmills—eliminating a shift in Hulett, Wy., and trimming hours in Spearfish, S.D.
Neiman president Jim Neiman said, “While we may not agree with the reduction in timber harvest that led to these curtailments, we are committed to our partnerships with all stakeholders, including the local, regional and national levels of the U.S. Forest Service, and will continue to work side-by-side with them to maintain the health of the Black Hills National Forest.”
The company continues to seek enthusiastic partnerships with policymakers and public land managers to accomplish long-term forest health solutions that engage the industry, minimize community hazards, and support the multiple-use goals of the Black Hills National Forests.
