NASHVILLE. Tenn. — LP Building Solutions, a leading manufacturer of high-performance building products, will continue its partnership with the Forest Workforce Training Institute’s ForestryWorks program and will launch a new collaboration with the First Nations Forestry Council.

Both initiatives aim to develop the next generation of forestry professionals and advance sustainable forest management across North America.

“Programs like ForestryWorks and First Nations Forestry Council help ensure forests remain healthy and productive while supporting the future of sustainable forestry,” said LP Chair and CEO Brad Southern. “By investing in tomorrow’s workforce, we’re also investing in the continued success of renewable, high-performance building solutions.”

Launched in 2018 with LP’s direct involvement, ForestryWorks provides education, career awareness, and hands-on training to build a pipeline of skilled forestry workers.

LP’s collaboration with the First Nations Forestry Council funds scholarships for Indigenous students in the Indigenous Forestry Trades Program, which combines classroom learning with a paid practicum and mentorship from industry professionals.

Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, LP operates more than 20 manufacturing facilities, including mills in Sagola and Newberry.
