How Blockchain Technology and Forests Are Powering the Future of Green Construction

In an innovative partnership, the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities joined forces with Clemson University, Norfolk Southern, the Longleaf Alliance, and Chainparency to bring traceable, sustainable wood products to the forefront of green construction.

What sets this project apart? It’s the first mass timber construction project to use blockchain technology to track the supply chain—from harvest to installation. Every step of the process is documented to ensure complete transparency and accountability.

This initiative reflects the Endowment’s commitment to strengthening forest markets, promoting active management, and leading the way on tech-forward solutions that benefit rural communities and the environment alike.
