Working with Alaska to make the most of wood products

The Alaska Wood Utilization Research and Development Center WUC was established "to unify and enhance opportunities for economic assistance to workers, families, businesses, and communities affected by the changing timber industry in Southeast Alaska" (Department of Agriculture Secretary, Dan Glickman).

WUC assists Alaskan forest products companies with developing methods and products that take advantage of the state's unique resources as well as finding means to be productive in the face of equally unique challenges.

WUC is a team in the Human and Natural Resources Interactions program.
