Specifying for Forest Conservation: Local Wood Supply Chains and Sustainable Sourcing in the Northeast Region

Learn about specifying wood for forest conservation and the potential for design to connect the natural to the built environment. This presentation will share the results of collaborative fieldwork conducted by Tri-Lox and research fellows at Yale School of the Environment focusing on the Northeast region of the United States. This is an introductory level practical guide for how designers can engage with local wood toward positive environmental, ecological, economic, and social impact.
