News: Forest Stewardship Council Recognizes Community Rebuilds and Architectural Nexus

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) has announced its 10th Annual FSC Leadership Awards, recognizing uncommon excellence that advances responsible forest management and conservation. These awards celebrate builders, architects, retailers, paper mills, manufacturers, environmental organizations, and many others who contribute to the movement toward responsible sourcing of forest material and forest management.

This year, fifteen organizations were recognized, including Community Rebuilds and Architectural Nexus for the Projects at Mill Creek. This recognition comes for collaboration of the first affordable housing community in the world to pursue the Living Building Challenge. The Projects at Mill Creek uses 80 percent FSC-certified wood with the remainder coming from salvaged sources.

Other recipients include Amazon, Georgia Pacific, Herman Miller, Target, and the Redwood Forest Foundation. Visit the FSC Newsroom to see the full list of accomplishments that are recognized.
