Students were taught that wood is renewable, recyclable, biodegradable and durable in an exciting and engaging format. The Wood Magic Science Fair was hosted by the university’s Department of Sustainable Bioproducts in the College of Forest Resources. Sponsors included the Mississippi Forestry Association; the Mississippi Lumber Manufacturers Association; the Sustainable Forestry Initiative; Viance, LLC and the Mississippi State Forest and Wildlife Research Center.
