It's easy to find markets for big trees coming out of national forests, but not so easy to cut big trees in an era of environmental protection. So think small; REALLY small.
Siskiyou County Supervisors, the Klamath National Forest, and the USDA Forest Products Laboratory in Wisconsin are exploring ways to make commercial uses of nanocellulose technology.
Nanocellulose--think powdered wood--does not require big or even medium-sized trees. Get ready for a lesson in nanocellulose and what it will take to set up a facility in the Yreka area. Alan Rudie from the lab and Dan Blessing from the Klamath National Forest visit The Exchange.
