This Week In The Woods is the "positive voice" for forestry in Upper Michigan.
Each week a key person in Michigan forestry is featured during a twenty-minute interview. The interview is followed by a three-minute segment of forestry news. We wrap up the program with a two-minute "commentary" about an important forestry issue.
In it’s 12th year, "This Week In The Woods" has won seven major state-wide awards from :
Michigan Association of Timbermen
Society of American Foresters
Menominee Farm Bureau
Michigan Farm Bureau
Michigan Forest Resource Alliance
Michigan State Co-operative Extension
Michigan Department of Natural Resources
The host of the program is Rick Duerson. A broadcaster for over 30 years, Rick has been the VP/GM of WGLQ-FM/ WCHT-AM since 1982 and has served in the same position for Radio Results Network since it was founded in 1991.
