This $600,000 Project Grant was awarded on June 25, 2025 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the Wood Utilization Assistance program (CFDA 10.674). The grant will fund the installation of three new aluminum stainless prefabricated dry kilns at the Collins Pine Company's sawmill in Kane, Pennsylvania. This project aims to meet the drying needs of various tree species harvested from the surrounding Allegheny Forest, as the sawmill's current kilns are either dysfunctional or inefficient due to age. The new kilns will allow the sawmill to maintain current kiln charge volume at greater efficiency and speed, reducing drying defects by 2% and energy costs by 25% through more controlled drying environments. This will support sustainable forest management efforts by enabling the sawmill to derive more value from logs, increase production, and provide higher quality lumber to the market.
