My brother and BIL both work for Georgia Pacific. They have good, non union jobs, making paper towels, tp, napkins, etc. I have hunted and camped on GP land in Louisiana, (with permission from GP). Acres and acres of trees. They harvest and replant. There is always a huge mature forest. It’s a renewable resource.

Yep. Anyone who says different hasn't spent time in the woods.

A couple of years ago, I revisted some old childhood fishing haunts. I couldn't find them without the help of a topo map. Amazing how fast everything gets grown over.

My company was bought by GP and after about 3 years sold. But being part of them was interesting (good and bad). Very familiar with their products and mills.
When the Koch Brothers bought them they had just bought Fort James (Howard) and the government stepped in and forced them to sell us.
