Today, we’re thrilled to celebrate a fantastic milestone: Craig Benedict’s 3-year anniversary with Barefoot Flooring!

For the past three years, Craig has been an integral part of our operations, diligently working as a valued Machine Operator. His skill, precision, and commitment to ensuring the smooth running of our machinery are truly appreciated by everyone here. Day in and day out, Craig brings a positive attitude and a strong work ethic to his role, contributing significantly to the quality and efficiency we strive for.

So, a huge thank you, Craig! Thank you for your hard work, your reliability, and your unwavering commitment to Barefoot Flooring over the past three years. We are incredibly fortunate to have you on our team, and we look forward to many more years of your valuable contributions.

On March 25th and 26th, Scott and Norm traveled to Harrisburg to attend the Pennsylvania Forest Products Association’s 2025 Legislative event. During their visit, they engaged with numerous House and Senate members to advocate for the Hardwood Industry. Pennsylvania leads the nation in hardwood growing stock, production, and wood product exports. The industry’s impact is impressive, creating over 63,000 jobs across 2,100 companies and contributing $39 billion annually to the economy.

Managed working forests play a crucial role in sustainability. They provide a renewable supply of wood, while also ensuring clean air and water, offering recreational opportunities, supporting wildlife habitats, and increasing carbon storage. Young forests, in particular, excel at capturing carbon from the atmosphere, a process that becomes less efficient as forests age. Therefore, maintaining well-managed working forests benefits both the environment and the economy.

Thank you, Helen, for your eight years of hard work, loyalty, and dedication!
