Webinars

Since much in the industry has changed, NAWLA has recognized that its members and the industry are looking for ways to learn about current issues.

Webinars have been particularly effective lately, as companies have cut back both their travel and training budgets. The webinars allow employees to get the information they need without having the time and expense of an onsite program. It also has enabled companies to have multiple employees to attend, which always helps with the takeaways and long-term implementation of the knowledge.

If you have any questions about our webinars and online learning materials, please contact education@nawla.org.


Upcoming Webinars

Risks, Challenges and Opportunities in a Continued Volatile Economy

Date and Time: Thursday, April 4 | 12:00-1:00 p.m. CT
Speaker: Paul F. Jannke, Principal, Lumber at Forest Economics Advisors LLC 
Moderator:  Ryan Chitwood, QP Timber US, LLC/Education Committee 

2023 was a challenging year for wood products markets. Rising interest rates hampered demand while capacity ramped up in the south.  Meanwhile, record wildfires plagued Canada and global markets faced continued uncertainty in the face of multiple conflicts and weak demand (in Europe and China in particular).  With US interest rates appearing to have stabilized, will we see a rebound in domestic consumption in 2024?  Will overseas remain weak resulting in continued high levels of imports?  Will even more capacity come on line in the south, further limiting upside market potential?

Mount St. Helens, A Story of Resiliency and Renewal

Date and Time:  July 12, 2022 | 12:00-1:00 p.m. CDT
Presenter: Molly Rasor, Harvest Planner, Weyerhaeuser

On the morning of May 18, 1980, a magnitude 5.1 earthquake triggered one of the most powerful volcanic blasts in the history of North America: The Eruption of Mount St. Helens. Fifty-seven people lost their lives. Everything in the path of the blast – including 68,000 acres of Weyerhaeuser forestland – was destroyed.

Join us to hear about the salvage, recovery, and reforestation efforts that followed this devastating event.

This webinar provides a unique showcase of Weyerhaeuser’s Tree Farm management both in the aftermath of the eruption and today, as Weyerhaeuser continually works to deliver sustainable products to the markets you serve.
