PUBLICATION
Northwoods Forest Conservation: Celebrating Local Wood & Alternative Forest Products
In Northwoods Forest Conservation: A Handbook, published in Summer 2020 by Northwoods Alliance and Partners in Forestry, we touched only the surface of the innumerable benefits that northern forests provide. As a follow-up, we are continuing to explore the tangible benefits of natural resources from northern forests, as well as ecological, social and intrinsic benefits. Here, we are pleased to present a new Handbook that celebrates the importance of local wood products, including some less-obvious considerations, and provides tools for using your own sustainably-harvested wood products.
