The urban forests in the metropolitan region produce a great quantity of wood from tree removals, storms and routine tree maintenance.  Previously, this material has been chipped for mulch at best.  This forum will focus on those people and groups who are on the cutting edge of developing technologies and programs to put this wood to good use.  More information will be posted to https://www.mwcog.org/calendar/
