Join us for an exclusive opportunity to learn from industry experts on how we can prioritize the eco-friendly re-utilization of wood products to reduce waste and repurpose valuable materials. Our workshop will provide valuable insights from leaders in the industry, sharing their experiences and resources on how to make the most of wood products.

Not only is the re-utilization of wood a sustainable way to reduce waste, but it could also provide significant cost benefits to your company and add value to your services for the customer. This workshop will feature classroom presentations and outdoor demonstrations to show the practical applications of repurposing wood products and how it can positively impact the environment, as well as your budget.

Don't miss out on this chance to take a step towards a more sustainable future in the industry and learn how you can find opportunities to reduce environmental waste while benefiting your project's bottom line. Join us for our urban wood reutilization workshop and be part of the change!
