At last week’s Society of American Foresters National Convention in Tacoma, Delie Wilkens, the Endowment’s director of communities, moderated a panel on practical ways to engage family forest owners beyond traditional forestry networks.

The conversation highlighted an outreach toolkit created in collaboration with our partners, with strategies to build trust and relationships that will allow for more families to be connected with resources to care for their forests.

Thank you to Esther Adams, Trinity Barnes, Courtney Columbus and Sam Cook for sharing their perspectives and experience.

A mass timber shelter that folds for transport and unfolds for use. 💡

With support from a USDA Forest Service Wood Innovation Grant administered by the Endowment, Clemson University's Wood Utilization + Design Institute developed a prototype of a rapidly deployable structure to support recovery in disaster-stricken areas, providing shelter and protection from the elements.

The shelter was showcased at the 2026 International Mass Timber Conference, giving attendees a closer look at the design and how it comes together.

The project builds on research funded by the U.S. Air Force.

From maple baseball bats to high-rise timber towers, wood must withstand the demands placed on it.

In the Engineering and Remote Sensing Lab at the U.S. Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory, scientists apply more than a century of wood science expertise to rigorous testing that helps inform codes and standards and keep people safe.

This video is part of a series co-funded with the Forest Products Laboratory and takes you inside the facility to see this research in action.

Accessible and reliable forest sector carbon data can support better reporting, research and decision-making.

That’s why the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities, together with the U.S. Forest Service and forest sector partners, is inviting users to explore the Beta Launch of FACT (Forestry Analytics for Carbon Tracking).

The platform will use forestry analytics to improve carbon tracking across forested landscapes and wood supply chains, making forest-carbon data more transparent and actionable, while delivering in a one-stop shop. Better measurement will support confidence in sustainably sourced wood, strengthen market opportunities for forest products, and inform investment in forest management.

The Beta Launch is an active improvement period. By testing the platform and sharing feedback, users can help identify what works, what needs improvement and what will make FACT more useful across the forest products value chain.

Your input will help shape the platform ahead of its Version 1 release planned for summer 2027. forestryanalytics.org

The future of forestry will depend in part on how well we recognize opportunities and manage risk.

At the North Carolina Forestry Association’s annual meeting, Endowment President and CEO Pete Madden spoke about the opportunities ahead, from new markets for wood residuals to stronger mills and new sources of capital.

The path forward starts with understanding risk, investing thoughtfully and working across the sector to build markets that keep forests working and communities strong.

How can technology help connect forest health treatments with viable markets?

The U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities is awarding $500,000 to two organizations developing practical tools to strengthen forest management and decision-making.

CTrees will receive $300,000 to develop Forest Asset Intelligence: The Wood Triangle, connecting information about forests, mills and markets in one decision-support system.

Spatial Informatics Group will receive $200,000 to develop and deploy the Planscape Bioeconomy Module, helping planners assess the costs, market potential and forest health benefits of proposed treatments.

Congratulations to CTrees and the Spatial Informatics Group. Learn more: https://heyor.ca/q9NR6S.

Two years after Hurricane Helene damaged approximately 800,000 acres of trees across Western North Carolina, forest landowners are still navigating what recovery looks like for their land.

Since the storm, EcoForesters has reached more than 1,000 landowners through workshops, training, consultations and forestry resources.

Now, a $250,000 Forest Landowner Support award will help turn that increased engagement into action.

Working with private landowners in heavily affected communities, EcoForesters will help assess storm damage, restore access to forest stands and develop plans for invasive species control, native tree regeneration, wildfire risk reduction and long-term forest management.

The funding - provided by the U.S. Forest Service through the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities - will also help landowners begin implementing those plans and connect them with cost-share and tax programs that can make continued management more attainable.

Pulp and paper mill closures are reshaping forest economies across the South, ultimately affecting supply chains and the rural communities that depend on a strong forest products sector.

Endowment President and CEO Pete Madden spoke with South Carolina Business Review Host Mike Switzer about the market forces behind these closures and why investment in new markets is increasingly important to the future of working forests.

Last week, forestry leaders gathered for the inaugural Forest Products Innovation Corridor, bringing together people and opportunities shaping the future of forest markets in the Southeast.

Endowment President and CEO Pete Madden helped open the convening by moderating a conversation with Nick DiLuzio of Forisk Consulting and Brian Brashaw of the U.S. Forest Service on timber supply, mill capacity, market conditions and emerging opportunities across the region.

Convenings like this help turn shared challenges into new opportunities while strengthening forest product markets and supporting healthy working forests.
