It is not too late to support the Georgia Forestry Foundation as a part of #GivingTuesday! Your support goes directly to fund our work in education and the environment, but also our efforts to find new ways to harness the power of Georgia's working forests. Mass timber unlocks the potential to use a green building material - wood - in tall buildings. Your support helps to support research, analysis and outreach that is focused on leveraging innovative uses for wood like mass timber that help to turn our buildings to carbon sinks rather than carbon emitters. Help us re-imagine Georgia's skylines! Donate today at:
