The PATHH program offers grants up to $125,000 for businesses in the industry who saw declines in the midst of COVID-19 last year. Harvesters and haulers whose businesses experienced a gross revenue loss of at least 10% from Jan. 1 to Dec. 1, 2020, compared to the previous year are encouraged to apply.
Businesses where 50% or more of gross revenue is derived from cutting or transporting timber or from processing wood on-site in the forest (chipping, grinding, cutting to smaller lengths, converting to biochar) are eligible.
