Carolina Canopy workshop- Urban Wood Use
Aug 23, 2019

On-line registration is now closed. Contact Leslie Moorman (252-653-6277) with any questions.
We are excited to announce our next workshop in the 2019 Carolina Canopy Workshop Series. A tremendous amount of sound wood is wasted regularly in communities across the state whenever shade trees must be removed. Most is ground to mulch at a significant cost to the municipality, or at best, cut into firewood. This workshop is intended to bring together suppliers, processors, and end users of urban wood who recognize the value of the resource and wish to make better use of the material. The workshop serves as a step to further develop the NC Urban Wood Groups in North Carolina and to link potential partners.
Workshop Location: Reedy Creek Park - Charlotte, NC
