The world is losing its forests at such an alarming rate we now have global laws in place to protect our remaining woodlands.

This session guides designers through the dense undergrowth involved in protecting forests. Designers will learn about endangered trees, illegal logging, and how to identify the origin of wood before they specify. Global Forestry 101 also explores how to identify illegally obtained wood and reviews legal alternatives that protect forests and satisfy client needs. Recent global laws are very serious and we will explores stark examples for design professionals to note to protect their practices.
