Taking on Climate Change and Affordable Housing with Mass Timber
October 22 @ 8:30 am - 2:45 pm EDT
- In Person
Regional In-Person Workshop (Boston, MA)
In support of the New England Climate-Smart Commodities project funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF) and its partners are hosting the first in a series of workshops. The series aims to grow the market for climate-smart forest products, such as mass timber, and connect with efforts to incentivize climate-smart forest management across our region.
Join us to learn about the relationship between healthy forests and robust markets for forest products and hear from mass timber experts from New England and throughout the U.S. who have successfully integrated mass timber into affordable housing projects to simultaneously address two of the biggest challenges of our time: reducing carbon impact while increasing housing supply.
