To celebrate National Forest Products Week (October 20 - 26) Dovetail created an infographic with key takeaways from our latest report, "Bioenergy Update: A U.S. Outlook." National Forest Products Week recognizes the important role forests and forest products play in our everyday lives. It highlights the economic, environmental, and social benefits provided by forest products, such as lumber, paper, renewable energy, and recreational spaces. Celebrating this week raises awareness about the sustainable management of forests, the renewable nature of forest products, and the contributions of the forest industry to the economy and conservation efforts. #nationalforestproductsweek #bioenergy #forestproducts Download the infographic and read the report here: https://lnkd.in/eQN52AcE
