Buy TicketsScience on Tap: Timber Talk (Douglas location)
Our love for the waters around us is shared with our forests!
Join us in an interactive discussion on how mass timber—large, engineered wood construction materials—is revolutionizing our ability to build big buildings more sustainably, efficiently, and beautifully, while also creating incentives to keep forests as forests and plant more of them. THERE WILL BE GAMES, PRIZES, AND BEER!
Also, learn how our new neighbors, Lilypad Solar Boats, utilized circular economy design principles and locally sourced Black Locust as our marine wood decking material.
Guest Speakers: Sandra Lupien, Director of Mass Timber at MSU & Dana Lowell, CEO of Lilypad Labs
"Using huge engineered wood construction materials – mass timber – enables us to build big buildings from a renewable resource more efficiently, more sustainably, and more beautifully. With mass timber, we create buildings that actually store carbon, and can benefit rural economies and create incentives to plant more trees." Sandra Lupien
Time: 5pm-7pm
Where: Barrel Room at our Douglas location
We encourage our guests to join us in our taproom before or after the discussion, as to let our guest speakers shine, but a server will be available to take orders. Don't forget, all sales of Rainbow Rodeo IPA helps generate funds for habitat restoration.
