TRADITIONAL FOREST MARKETS
We expand the use of products made from southern trees, going beyond consumer goods to include construction technologies and building codes that are forest-friendly
Priority
Promoting new wood construction products and technologies and the necessary regulatory framework needed for implementation
Results
Launched the “Ask for Wood, Ask for Paper” campaign that raises awareness about the positive impact that wood and paper products make on healthy forests.
Contributed to How the River Flows podcast with episodes linking forest landowners, markets that encourage responsible management, and sustainable building practices.
