Webinar information

Urban Wood Economy (UWE) is a national nonprofit using an entrepreneurial model to leverage untapped opportunities that capture carbon and create jobs by bringing urban and community wood utilization to scale. Hear from CEO and Co-Founder Jeff Carroll about UWE’s efforts to forge circular supply chains for wood utilization (from WUI to city center), beyond lumber and urban wood products. By utilizing all of the tree, including trimmings and species not slated for urban wood products, UWE is transforming large-scale wood waste to lumber, biochar, compost, and more.
