Topic: Urban Timber Upcycling
Finding a manufacturer or business capable of harnessing the huge potential of urban timber generated by Emerald Ash Borer removals has long been a bottleneck in the use of that resource for the production of higher-use wood products. Enter the Sterling Lumber family of companies – Sterling Tree Solutions, Sterling Lumber, and Midwest Access Solutions. Jim Semelka of Sterling Tree Solutions will speak about the process by which the vertically integrated Sterling companies harvest, process, and mill urban timber into a variety of sustainable, environmentally beneficial lumber products.
