USDA Forest Service Wood Innovations Grant Project
Texas Urban Sawmill is awarded the USDA Forest Service Wood Innovations Grant. Their grant project is titled “Full Circle Woodland Forestry a Circular Economic Project”. The project aims to rescue, utilize, and monetize traditional woody mass material that results in high wildfire risks throughout central Texas. Usually, this material is either burnt up or chipped. However, the Texas Urban Sawmill wishes to investigate a fresh, full-circle economic model that can decrease Texas' wildfire hazard and also create revenue from the material's worth to support tree-planting pursuits.
