Urban wood suppliers work hard to fill a niche market need for consumers, design professionals, and developers who want to work with materials that tell a story. They also are the connection that is critical for the development of an urban wood industry. Most suppliers work with multiple sawmills to source urban wood, either for retail sale for residential and artisanal projects, or to build inventory over months for large volume commercial and industrial projects.

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.
