We are building a collaborative network to promote sustainable urban wood utilization throughout the State of Tennessee.
What to Know
- Each year, 15 to 30 million tons of wood from urban sources goes to landfills each year.
- Recovering & reusing urban wood benefits the economy, our infrastructure & the environment.
- Wood stores carbon, so repurposing urban wood reduces the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere.
