The urban forests in the metropolitan region produce a great quantity of wood from tree removals, storms and routine tree maintenance. Previously, this material has been chipped for mulch at best. This forum will focus on those people and groups who are on the cutting edge of developing technologies and programs to put this wood to good use. More information will be posted to http://www.mwcog.org/calendar/

Scheduled Presenters:

John Thomas – Urban Forester with the DC Urban Forestry Administration
CitiWood Works – Stubby & Maria Warmbold
Professor Tony Mucciardi – Tree Radar Inc.
Dan Rider – MDNR Associate Director – Forest Service Marketing & Utilization
Others TBA

This meeting will be held at the offices of the Council of Governments, 777 North Capitol, St. Washington, D.C., on the first floor in the Training Center meeting room.

A final agenda will be posted at COG’s Web Page http://www.mwcog.org/committee/committee/events.asp?COMMITTEE_ID=48
