Northern Forests to Timber Cities

In partnership with the Northern Forest Center and with support from the US Forest Service Wood Innovation Program, GOA is developing new forest product supply chains that link New England’s underutilized northern forests and rural workforces to the region’s growing demand for dense, sustainable urban construction. Working closely with experts in forestry, manufacturing, building science, industrial ecology, development, and construction, this project aims to simultaneously accelerate demand and access to mass timber building assemblies while encouraging and enabling the development of an emergent, regional mass timber supply industry.
