NACD U&C Webinar – Turning Local Wood into Local Value: A Playbook for Conservation Districts – 4PM ET | August 5, 2026
Every year, thousands of tons of urban and forest wood are undervalued as a resource. Conservation districts are uniquely positioned to change that. In this webinar, Unified Wood Economy’s Chief Operations Officer, Jennifer Judd, and Project Manager, Leana Mauricette, will present two regional wood utilization projects, from city centers to national forests, and introduce our Urban Wood Utilization Guide: A Municipal Playbook for establishing a wood utilization program in your community. The webinar will cover how districts can get started, what funding pathways exist, and how to align this work with your existing conservation mission. Come ready to ask questions because the presenters will save time for a full discussion!
