Annual Meeting and Award Banquet to feature a program on Simon Benson
Simon Benson: Lumber King, Civic Leader, Visionary
A humble Norwegian immigrant gifted with immense talent and ambition, Benson overcame daunting challenges to become a lumber magnate who used his wealth and influence to give back to his adopted state and country, leaving a lasting legacy.
Simon’s most lucrative operations were in Clatskanie, where he would eventually own 45,000 acres of land. There, 80 miles of track connected nine logging camps, where 250 men worked in shifts, harvesting timber on an industrial scale.
Program will be presented by Sig Unander, a professional communicator and native of the Pacific Northwest.
You are cordially invited to the 2024 WCSWA Annual Banquet. You will have a chance to visit friends, bid on raffle items, win a door prize, elect new officers and board members, and hear from Sig Unander. There will be awards and the announcement of the [1] Tree Farmer of the Year.
