You are invited to attend a one-day  Wood Build Maine Conference on Friday, June 5, 2026 at the Smith Center for Education & Research, Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment, 184 Burnell Road in Freeport.  The event runs from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm and registration is required.

Across North America and Europe, mass timber and advanced wood construction are redefining skylines and supply chains alike.  Maine, the most heavily forested state in the US, with nearly 90% forest cover spanning almost 18 million acres, is home to the largest contiguous, intact working forest in the Eastern United States, combined with a deep legacy of craftsmanship and a growing network of innovators, the state is uniquely positioned to lead.

Wood Build Maine is a one-day conference dedicated to connecting people with ideas shaping the next generation of building.  By bringing together leaders across forestry, design, manufactring, and policy, the event underscores Maine’s role in advancing wood as both a structural material and a core element of a vibrant natural resource economy.  The event is sposored by the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture and presented in partnership with DACF, Maine International Trade Center and Maine Department of Economic and Community Development.
