The 2025 Executive Order on the Expansion of American Timber Production marks a new directive for domestic timber production. This mandate is not only vital for the nation’s economic security but also for improving forest management and wildfire recovery efforts. But what does this mean for the building industry?
This is where the American Forest Standard’s role becomes crucial. As the government accelerates timber production, it’s essential to ensure this growth is managed in a responsible and sustainable manner. Our certification program empowers the building industry to align its operations with this federal mandate. We provide a framework that helps builders and contractors meet federal reforestation benchmarks and ecological resilience strategies.
Through the American Forest Standard, companies can become active participants in this national effort, building not just structures but also contributing to the protection and restoration of our natural resources. It’s a win-win scenario: businesses thrive, timber supply is secured, and most importantly, the health of our forests is protected.
