Forest Stewardship Council releases global strategy, sets direction and intended outcomes to 2026. Related forestry announcements or events of note include: BC Forest Professionals (AGM speaker profiles); UBC Faculty of Forestry (webinar with Robin Wall Kimmerer); BC Truck Loggers Association (today’s suppliers’ showcase); Canadian Institute of Forestry (new diversity initiative); and FPInnovations (fibre utilization workshop).

In other news: why there’s a lumber shortage in the US; KB Home’s positive 2021 outlook; a grim forecast if Boise closes Elgin, Oregon mill; a mass timber showcase for Seattle; and why capital flows to forests in the US South.

Finally, a heads up as we send out our 2021 support request. Thanks in advance to the generosity of our sponsors and frog friends.
