  • Helping project teams source wood from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified forests and restoration treatments.
  • Exploring ways to increase the availability of climate-smart wood products in the marketplace.
  • For more information, see this overview sheet or this recently released video to show the difference climate-smart wood makes in the forest.

There will be a brief program to introduce the Climate-Smart Wood Group, along with time for networking and socializing.

Drinks and appetizers will be served. This is an open and free event.
