The Greater Knoxville Community Wood Utilization Group is seeking community input.
Local tree companies generate a large amount of wood “waste” that often ends up in landfills but could be reused for other purposes. Are you an artist who needs wood for sculptures, someone who makes cutting boards, or a furniture maker looking for unique wood slabs?
Share your interest in reclaimed wood by completing this survey. The deadline is Sunday, March 1.
The Wood Utilization Survey collects information on consumer demand for reclaimed or repurposed wood in Knoxville for the City of Knoxville and other tree care providers.
If successful, this initiative could keep usable materials out of landfills, reduce disposal costs, and provide low-cost or free materials to community members.
