About the Conference
The USDA
Forest Service's Wood Education and Resource Center and Virginia
Tech's Center for Unit Load Design co-sponsored a one-day conference
(repeated a second day) that addressed all aspects of preventing
and eliminating mold on hardwood pallets and lumber. This conference
provided a consolidated and comprehensive educational curriculum
designed to inform primarily eastern U.S. hardwood lumber and
pallet manufacturers about mold related problems, the causes of
mold growth on raw wood surfaces, and how to prevent and eliminate
it.
