Carbon Narratives May 28th Workshop

Beyond the EPD: Economics, Equity, Ecology

May 28, 2021 // 9:00- 11:00 PST

The second of the workshop series will explore large scale implications of forestry practices, such as extensive or intensive harvesting, on surrounding communities, interrelated ecological networks, and global climate change. Members of the AEC industry seek clarification on how their roles and decisions in these various practices will impact the environment. The panelists represent a variety of backgrounds all unified around the questions of economics, equity, and ecology regarding the use of timber and wood building products. The facilitated conversations hope to distinguish between idealized scenarios and actual realities when it comes to advancement in forestry practices and the regulations of forested lands.  There will be a Q&A period following the panelist presentations.
