In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, recovery occurs as opportunities are explored and future preparations from the experience are planned.
This one-day workshop at the Asheville Botanical Gardens will cover best practices for processing storm-damaged timber into useful wood products. Experts will present key topics, including post-storm timber recovery, wood extraction methods, sawmilling, drying, storage, and safety. Hands-on demonstrations and technical discussions will provide practical insights into equipment, safety protocols, and efficiency in wood utilization. We will also examine the wildfire potential resulting from all the downed trees.
Whether you’re a landowner, forester, or interested in new business opportunities, this workshop offers essential knowledge for maximizing wood resources. The event will take place on Monday, August 11th, 2025 at the Asheville Botanical Gardens, located at 151 WT Weaver Blvd, Asheville, NC 28804. In the afternoon, we will visit a field site to observe a portable sawmill and its operation. The cost for the event is $20 and includes registration, lunch, and snacks. Registration is limited to 30 attendees. Register for this event online
