Growing local timber economies: small-scale timber supply chains
Join CloudForest to learn about their research and timber marketplace development
The Northwoods Innovation Programme hosted a webinar with Hester Robertson from CloudForest looking at small-scale local timber economies.
CloudForest is working to connect and support the brilliant forestry and timber organisations that are already out there working for our woodlands. CloudForest want to make it easier for them to find each other and carry out business, and for new businesses to get started. In doing so their platform will bring together a nationwide, resilient supply of timber.
They are starting small, working with organisations to design, test and develop digital tools. From there they will grow and scale local networks of organisations. Networks that make it possible for organisations of any scale to successfully find the resources and information they need.
Hear about CloudForest’s research into the challenges that exist along the small-scale timber supply chain followed by an introduction and live demonstration of CloudForest’s timber marketplace.
The webinar is provided as part of the Northwoods Innovation Programme which is looking to bring woodlands into management in the North East and Yorkshire & The Humber regions. The project is funded through the Forestry Commission Woods into Management Forestry Innovation Fund.
