What You'll Learn

1. Learn what regional forestry supply chains exist across the United States and the regenerative practices that make US timber an ideal triple bottom line material

2. Understand the steps needed and already taken by domestic mass timber manufacturers to bring these species into mass timber products

3. Follow the sourcing story from forest to factory to site

4. Dive into the required planning, design decisions and specification practices to support the use of regional timber sourcing and ensure cost-effective, successful project outcomes

Many Mass Timber project teams yearn to tell a strong story connected to regional forests. This session demystifies the steps in the supply chain to make that happen from forest to factory. Learn what goes into bringing regional species into mass timber products and what your team can do with design and specifications to ensure successful sourcing that supports the health and vibrancy of US forests and the economies they support.
