A Natchitoches paper mill closed and left Louisiana's forestry industry 'in chaos'
Before shuttering in April, International Paper’s Red River mill in Natchitoches Parish purchased 1.6 million tons of pulpwood per year.
Now, according to loggers, foresters and industry leaders, there’s nowhere for that type of forestry product to go, and the result is an industry that’s scrambling to adjust.
