American Softwoods

THE FUTURE IS WOOD. The way we have been building, with materials that required huge energy inputs to manufacture, is one of the greatest contributors of CO2 emissions. Staying in that course doesn´t make sense, we can change it... youtu.be/Oh3VwqwGcFc via @YouTube

In May 2023, @Southern_Pine exports, which include treated lumber, were up by 0.35%. While softwood imports were up 4.2% over the month and down 8.3% over the same month in 2022. Read more 👉 bit.ly/3KejZYK @USDA @USDAForeignAg @ASoftwoods

As part of a 10year program to protect communities & build resilience in America's forests, @USDA is investing a further $490 million to address the wildfire crisis in the US. Learn more about USDA's efforts here: bit.ly/3jZNTGn @ASoftwoods @ahec_europe @AmericanForests

(A THREAD) U.S. forest cover has increased over the last 20 years. They have a vital role to play protecting local ecosystems & providing a natural part of our response to climate change. So what are the 5 key benefits of forests? @ASoftwoods @ahec_europe @AmericanForests (1/7)

DYK? Trees use CO2 to produce wood. Buildings made from wood continue to store carbon for as long as they exist. The energy stored in 10k cubic feet of wood is enough to light 100 homes for 9 years! @APAwood @ahec_europe @ASoftwoods #sustainability #GreenBuilding

Around 3/4 of Oregon's supply of logs comes from private lands rather than federal forests. Strict #forestlaws ensure responsible forest management, protecting them for future generations. Read more about the sustainability of @ASoftwoods here: bit.ly/2J45SVv

Did you know? 33.2% or 304 million hectares of United States of America is forested. 👏 About 7.5% of the world's forests are in the United States. 😊 @americasforests @ahec_europe @APAwood @ASoftwoods @Southern_Pine

Did you know? About 7.5% of the world’s forests are in the United States; and altogether, U.S. forests cover over 800 million acres. 👏 @americasforests @ahec_europe @APAwood @ASoftwoods @Southern_Pine

Did you know that every two minutes, U.S. forests grow 700 metres? And as trees grow, they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and release oxygen back into the air. Softwood products store much of this carbon indefinitely. #sustainability #arboriculture #forestry #softwood #timber

Did you know that softwood products store much of this carbon indefinitely. In the case of buildings, the carbon is kept out of the atmosphere for the lifetime of the structure—or longer if the softwood is reclaimed and used to manufacture other products.

Happy #ForestryFriday! We're celebrating our 95% recycling rate, and giving back to nature. bit.ly/3o6z977 #palletsmovetheworld #sustainable #recycled

2.5 billion trees are planted in the United States each year. Millions more trees re-grow from seeds and sprout naturally. 👏 This means that more wood is grown than harvested! 😊 #GrownintheUSA @Southern_Pine @APAwood @ASoftwoods @ahec_europe
