On this episode of The American Landowner Podcast, Robert Dudley talks with Pete Madden, CEO of the US Endowment for Forestry and Communities, about the challenges in the Southeast pulpwood markets, including declining prices and mill closures. Pete discusses the importance of sustainable forest management and explores new opportunities in alternative markets like wood pellets, biochar, and sustainable aviation fuels.

They also touch on the potential of cross-laminated timber (CLT) in construction and the need for innovative solutions to support the timber industry. Pete highlights the role of the US Endowment in helping landowners and communities adapt to market changes and create new opportunities.
