QUOTES

• “We've been creating a few different forest certifications to kind of attach a sign of good sustainability to the product so people can feel comfortable when they're buying it.”
• “We're finding more and more people are gravitating towards mass timber. And I think in the future, what we're gonna see is more people combining some materials. So we're seeing more hybrid structures. So, as much as we love wood, wood is not the perfect material for all things.”
