Learn more about SFI and the conference: https://forests.org/conference
A few highlights from the program include:
HOW MASS TIMBER BUILDINGS IMPROVE OUR CLIMATE AND OUR COMMUNITIES
Demand is growing for mass timber, and SFI-certified wood is increasingly sought to demonstrate the environmental and social benefits. This session highlights success stories like Georgia’s first locally grown and sourced 619 Ponce mass timber building, and advancements in specifying SFI-certified mass timber for projects within new market segments. Hear from representatives involved in the building and the efforts to educate Fortune 100 businesses and political leaders about the benefits of mass timber for our climate and our communities.
HOW TO BUILD A DIVERSE AND RESILIENT WORKFORCE
The forest sector is facing workforce challenges, which are coupled with a general lack of awareness of green jobs among diverse communities. Hear about the experiences of young professionals and those who work with them to gain ideas on successful ways to engage young people and support them with meaningful career experiences.
CONSERVATION OF SPECIES AT RISK IN SFI-CERTIFIED FORESTS
Over the last several decades, implementation of forest management and procurement practices catalyzed by SFI standards have led to the improvement of wildlife habitat that is increasingly recognized for its conservation value. Through innovative policy solutions and novel technological approaches to species monitoring, the Wildlife Conservation Initiative is demonstrating those conservation values in action in managed forests across the nation. Hear from scientists, industry leaders, and the US Fish & Wildlife Service about on-the-ground regulatory, tech, and partnership breakthroughs in managing forests for the co-benefits of species at risk.
