Future Markets
Vibrant forest markets are founded on innovation. The Endowment invests in and promotes new technologies to develop new markets ensuring that forest values will drive conservation practices and help keep forests bountiful and productive for their full range of social, ecological, and economic benefits.
Mass Timber
With our partners at the Softwood Lumber Board and the American Wood Council, we seek to stimulate and grow the market for “mass timber construction,” by actively working to change building codes and allow for new types of construction that leverage the value of wood.
P3Nano
P3Nano is a public-private partnership aimed at rapidly commercializing cellulosic nanomaterials. With our partners, the Endowment is investing in non-competitive research to take full advantage of the unique properties of cellulose at the nanoscale.
Biochar
This program seeks to secure the sector’s leadership position in providing critical solutions to address the climate crisis. The goal of the Endowment Forest Carbon Program is to invest in catalytic climate resiliency solutions that benefit forests, markets, and communities.
