Joey Strength and HunterMaclean recently helped organize and participated in the Savannah Mass Timber Hub Meeting, discussing opportunities and challenges in #masstimber construction with local industry leaders.
It's great to see growing interest in sustainable building solutions!

One thing we know: we can’t reforest America alone. We’re one of 20 orgs who recently received funding from the @ForestService to help tribes and underserved landowners access financial and technical support for resilient reforestation.
Georgia is the No. 1 Forestry State in the Nation, and we are proud of the students who are being recognized on the state and national level through @nationalffa and @ga_ffa forestry competitions!

Find your "tree age!"
Imagine you were a pine tree. What stage in a pine tree's lifecycle would you be right now based on your age? Just an itty bitty pine cone or 30 ft tall?
