From the Woods Today - Water 101 and Timber Trespass

In this episode of From the Woods Today, Dr. D.J. McNeil and Dr. John Cox visit the show to discuss how extreme weather fluctuations can affect our wildlife. Chad Niman also speaks about mass timber products. These are created by assembling more minor wood elements, like dimension lumber, veneers, or strands, and bonding them with adhesives, dowels, nails, or screws to form larger structural components. 3.12.25. <a class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" tabindex="0" href= "https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbERCdDM2dDBWMldfd0c2bl9JZXhyVDlNRFZoQXxBQ3Jtc0tsVC03RkhXRDZZclN4N3RGREJCTVFnZmI2ejBDeEJ6a0c4U2hLd05NMDZCcjZTRDUyMnpyQnFuY3RmSzk2ZzRWWGRQWmNRUzJRZDlxcXBDeldoZk5IN2liYk5HNEJLU2ZvbU1YX191a3V3dDBiS0lJNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Ffromthewoodstoday.com%2F&v=5Z-DnueOEUc" target="_blank" rel= "nofollow noopener">https://fromthewoodstoday.com</a>
