Design professionals who regularly specify urban wood are fulfilling two types of client needs: a commitment to environmentally friendly practices, and the search for a show-stopping material that represents something truly unique and special. Most businesses marketing the local and regional aspects of their products or services are looking for an office or retail space that reflects those same principles.

The Urban Wood Network is made up of individual and organizational efforts in Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and Wisconsin, working in cooperation to connect and enhance the full circle of sustainable urban forestry. The Urban Wood Network is funded in part by the USDA Forest Service. This website was created as part of the grant project, Bringing Urban Forestry Full Circle: Localized Approaches for Capturing Value and Enhancing Public Benefits from Urban Forests, funded by the U.S. Forest Service. The Urban Wood Network provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or genetics.
