At the end of each year, SFI takes time to give thanks, reflect on the past year, and look forward to the next year.

One of the best ways to make buildings better for our environment is to use as much wood as possible in construction.

As I travel from tradeshows to conferences, and even chat with family and friends, and attempt to explain the SFI core mission, I’ve noticed a recurring theme.

Let’s stop talking, so we can hear how quiet it is….

According to the Geological Survey of Canada, the peat in Canada’s wetlands stores almost 60 percent of all the carbon stored in soils across the country.

You might have heard that more than 51 million people in the United States and Canada participate in birdwatching as a hobby.

When I was a kid, we didn’t worry about recycling, or air pollution, or water pollution, or whether the wood in our dining table came from a sustainable source.

On April 19, 2016, so many of us were deeply saddened when we learned of the loss of our close friend and wonderful colleague, Rob Olszewski.

Science tells us that every economic, social, and environmental value we hold dear will be affected if we can’t stabilize the climate by mid-century.

My fellow State Foresters and I are committed to maintaining and expanding markets for the broad array of sustainable forest products.
