2024 BLD Connection Mill Tour - Oregon
September 22-27, 2024
The BLD Connection Mill Tour is headed to the scenic and geographically diverse state of Oregon! With moody coastlines, windswept beaches, rugged mountains with lush forests, vineyard-filled valleys, dunes & desert, breathtaking waterfalls, hip cities, charming small towns and so much more, we can see why this is a bucket list destination for so many. Add in an incredibly rich timber history (Oregon is the largest producer of softwood lumber in the country), that makes it a no-brainer choice to return to for a Mill Tour!
Attendees can expect to experience several of Oregon’s diverse regions and points of interest as well as several lumber and building material related behind-the-scenes tours during our week together.
The 2024 Mill Tour is sold out. Contact Jodie Fleck at jodie@bldconnection.org or (763) 595-4058 to reserve your spot or if you have questions.
The Mill Tour is a progressive, educational, and entertaining group tour designed specifically for LBM professionals.
Embrace autumn's beauty on our exclusive 5–6-day expedition to a new U.S. locale each year. Immerse yourself in the heart of sawmills, forests, timber projects, and gain insider access to behind-the-scenes tours at top-tier building product facilities. Each journey promises a distinct adventure, blending education with leisure.
Tailored with lumberyard professionals in mind, our tours cater to owners, managers, and partners, including retired dealers seeking fresh insights. While our core attendees stem from our membership base, we extend a warm invitation to lumberyards nationwide. Averaging 25–50 participants per trip, our vibrant community unites novices and veterans alike, ensuring diverse networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities. Don't miss the chance to be part of this enriching experience. Contact Jodie for more information at jodie@bldconnection.org or (763) 595-4058.
