About Us
Working Forests Initiative (WFI) seeks to establish and advance a common understanding of the broad range of environmental, economic, and societal benefits generated by working forests, the many sustainable products they provide, and the critical role forests play as a natural climate solution.
WFI is a new 501c6 supported by a broad range of leading companies and trade associations representing the American forestry sector. WFI includes funders and partners spanning the supply chain, from large and mid-sized timberland owners to loggers, pulp and paper producers and solid wood manufacturers who create lumber, OSB, plywood and engineered wood.
