The Portland airport’s huge new roof, made from wood that was sustainably harvested from small family forests and mills, tribal nations and community forests in Oregon and Washington, is a tribute to the Pacific Northwest.

“We’re a natural resource state, and creating that connection into our community was really important,” says Vince Granato, chief projects officer at the Port of Portland. Every piece of wood was sourced from within 300 miles of the airport, and about half of it came from 13 small and tribal landowners in Washington and Oregon.
