Challenges related to COVID-19 are spurring innovation in forestry, forest product research and forest product distribution—despite what one writer calls the end of our innocence. In Forestry/Climate news: 83% of BC wildfires are human caused; ENGO court case on EU wood biomass is dismissed; and 180 habitat conservation projects are announced for BC; while ENGOs say 80% of Canada’s safe havens lack protection.

Companies in the news include: Mosaic Forest Management (agreement with Steelworkers); Northern Pulp (gov’t assistance for cleanup) Resolute (200 year anniversary); Klausner Lumber One (bankruptcy); Louisville Slugger (reopening); and Smartlam (CLT partnership).
