#DYK that the national forests were originally envisioned as working forests with multiple objectives: to improve and protect the forest, to secure favorable watershed conditions, and to furnish a continuous supply of timber for the use of citizens of the United States.

The very first book of photography. Stunning exhibit of Anna Atkins's work @nypl. Her cyanotypes of British algae, started in 1840s, set the stage for all the photographic art and science that followed. A must-see exhibit if you're in NYC. In Schwarzman building, through Feb 17.

According to the USDA, from 1953 to 2011, in a time of expanding population and increasing demand for homes, paper products, and energy, the total volume of trees grown in the U.S. increased by 50%. #forestproud #modernforestry #forests4climate #renewable #WeReplant

You can barely make 3 loaves of Amish friendship bread in 66 days... let alone an 18 story building.

Thanks to #MassTimber this is now a reality.
