The Softwood Lumber Board is an industry funded initiative dedicated to promoting the benefits and use of softwood lumber products in a wide range of outdoor and construction applications. This organization focuses on increasing the demand for softwood lumber by highlighting its performance, versatility, and environmental advantages in the built environment. Through research, communications, and partnerships, the board supports the development of innovative wood systems like mass timber and tall wood buildings. Their work helps architects and builders understand the carbon sequestration potential of using wood as a primary structural material. By advancing the adoption of wood in residential and commercial sectors, they contribute to more sustainable and resilient infrastructure. The entity plays a crucial role in education and technical support for the forestry and building industries across North America. Their efforts aim to secure a long term preference for wood as a sustainable building choice compared to carbon intensive alternatives.
