NEFF Bioeconomy Initiative Director Jennifer Shakun, a Mass Timber Maine Conference Planning Committee member, is pleased to participate in the 2024 Bernard Osher Lecture, “From Forest to Framework: The Journey of Mass Timber.” The lecture will feature a panel of experts from across the forestry supply chain—from logging through architecture—who will discuss mass timber and its impacts in construction and Maine.

Why is an art museum hosting a mass timber conference?

Now is the time to promote mass timber as a go-to building material and ensure long-lasting, positive outcomes for our economies and environment. The PMA is excited to partner with LEVER Architecture and lead by example through its new landmark building.
