Join the Living Future Community for a deep discussion about the origins of our regional wood products and their environmental benefits in the forests and in our built environment. This event will provide insights from experts about what makes a healthy forest ecosystem, how regional forest are managed and what sustainable harvesting looks like, as well as how FSC certification programs can be integrated into those practices to provide wood products throughout our projects. We’ll even take a video tour of a commercial forest! Light snacks and drinks will be provided.

Registrants will receive a Zoom link day-of via email.
