Puerto Rico: Building Capacity and Resilience

GreenWood landed in Puerto Rico in April 2018, six months after hurricanes María and Irma deposited some 4 to 6 million cubic yards of “vegetative debris” across the island. This included roughly 1 to 2 billion board feet of wood. We’re helping local woodworkers, landowners and small businesses respond by building their productive capacity to harness the island’s forest resources—a critical step toward resilience in the face of increasingly frequent climate disasters.
