The Center for Forest Products Marketing and Management is a cooperative venture of the forest products industry, the U.S. Forest Service, various public agencies, and Virginia Tech. The Center is located in the Corporate Research Park on the Virginia Tech Campus and is part of the Department of Wood Science and Forest Products in the College of Natural Resources. The Center has three objectives: (1) to train marketing-oriented men and women for employment in the forest products and related industries, (2) to be a continuing source of market intelligence and competitive advantage for member organizations, and (3) to promote the wise use of our renewable forest resource for economic growth and to meet societyÕs expanding needs for affordable wood and fiber products.
