Trees are the future! 💡🌳 Mass timber is an engineered wood product that is as strong as steel but weighs less than half as much. Mass timber can often be built faster, cheaper, and safer than traditional buildings. And the results are gorgeous!

Today is Global Recycling Day! ♻️ Paper products like cardboard are often recycled, but did you know wood can be recycled too? When a wood product reaches the end of its life, it can be turned into mulch or biofuel (among other things!), which can support forest management. 🌳

While cherry blossoms may get all the buzz, we're also big fans of native trees with equally impressive florals! 🍒 Black cherry (Prunus serotina) 🌸 Eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis) 🌼 Tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) 🌺 'Ohi'a lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha)

Spring is coming! 🌷 You can predict when your area will be in bloom by following the phases here. A colder winter often leads to later bloom, but sunny days and warm nights can signal trees to blossom. 🌸
