Who We Are
We are part of the State & Private Forestry Cooperative Forestry staff
of the US Forest Service. Our unit is located at the Forest Products Laboratory
(FPL) in Madison, WI. We provide a broad scope of expertise in
wood products utilization and marketing (U&M), technology transfer, and
technical assistance.
What We Do
Our mission is to improve the use of wood by transferring technologies developed
primarily by the FPL and other Forest Service research installations. We
work in collaboration with Forest Service Research and Development to identify
opportunities for working with local governments, private landowners, rural
communities, and forest industries. We support the National and international
research mission of the Forest Service in forest products utilization by
ensuring ready adoption of forest-based material technologies. The scope
of our technology marketing work includes forest products conservation, processing,
manufacturing efficiency, marketing, and recycling. We adopt a problem-solving
approach with our customers to ensure sustainability of our natural resources.
