Thirty-seven Tennessee hardwood businesses joined more than 400 companies nationwide in signing a letter urging the White House to include the U.S. hardwood sector in federal tariff relief programs. The coalition warns that ongoing export losses, rising costs, and mill closures are threatening rural jobs and communities across Tennessee.

Congratulations to our Tennessee members and partners who were awarded a U.S. Forest Service Wood Innovation grant. We are excited to see the ways that you all grow and shape the future of wood products!
