Woodland BIO on the Road 🚗
This year, the Woodland BIO team has been actively engaging with professional networks across the region and beyond, sharing our vision and innovations in biomass technology. Our journey has taken us to a variety of esteemed platforms where we've had the opportunity to present our work and connect with industry leaders and community stakeholders.
We've been honored to speak at the International Biomass Conference, where we discussed the future of drop-in sustainable fuels. Our participation in the Roach Bauer Forestry Forum allowed us to delve into the intersection of forestry management and biomass innovation.
Locally, we've engaged with community-focused organizations such as Develop Tioga, Wellsboro Rotary Club, and Wellsboro GROW, fostering conversations on economic development and sustainability. Additionally, our involvement in the PA Farm Show allowed us to showcase our work to a broader audience, emphasizing the role of biomass in agriculture and sustainability.
Through these engagements, we've not only shared our progress but also gained valuable insights and forged partnerships that will propel us forward in our mission to create a sustainable future. We look forward to continuing this journey and expanding our reach in the coming year.
