In Autumn of 2025, students in the Landscape Furniture Studio had the opportunity to work with sourced lumber from the UW Salvage Wood Program. This is the third year salvaged lumber has been used for the studio. This approach not only reduces the financial obligations of the students, but also reduces the environmental cost of creating furniture while building interdisciplinary relations across campus. To learn more about our furniture studio course and this unprecedented practice of utilizing salvaged wood, check out our StoryMap created by MLA students Sasha Crawford and Sarah Manness!*
