Events


The Build Local Alliance hosts three events annually: Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Alliance members and other interested parties gather to learn about forestry in our region, the species that grow locally and what they are best used for, and how the wood is being used in green building projects, furniture, and other applications by builders and artisans in our community.

To learn about our upcoming events, please email info@buildlocalalliance.org and we will add you to our email list.
