WU+D members -faculty members and students- were proud to participate in the 2026 APSAF Meeting in Greenville, SC, engaging with colleagues from across the region to discuss the future of forestry, wood utilization, and circular economy initiatives.
From research and innovation to workforce development and industry collaboration, these conversations play a critical role in advancing resilient forest-based solutions for the Southeast and beyond.
Our Strategic Advisor and former Director, Pat Layton became Golden member of APSAF and got celebrated at the meeting as well, along with other influencing personalities of the forest industry such as Gene Kodama.
We thank the organizers and partners for fostering such a dynamic and impactful forum, and for creating meaningful opportunities to connect, learn, and collaborate. Special thanks to @Scott Phillips and Guy Sabin with the South Carolina Forestry Commission for your continuous support and engagement with the Institute initiatives.
