Sustainability With Wood Products

Wood is a renewable resource with countless uses, and sustainably harvesting wood to make wood products is good for the health of forests and local economies. The Forest Service's Wood Innovations grants are investing in wood products economies nationwide. Freres Engineered Wood, a Wood Innovations grant recipient and a company based in Oregon's Santiam Canyon, uses sustainably sourced wood from nearby forests to make an innovative engineered wood product that can replace concrete and steel in commercial and multifamily construction projects.
