The American Wood Council (AWC) functions as a trade association for North American wood products manufacturing, providing engineering data, design standards, and technical guidance to support safe and efficient wood construction. Its activities cover wood design, green building practices, and environmental regulations, and it advocates for government policies that affect the sector. Based in Leesburg, Virginia, the organization serves a broad community of manufacturers within the structural wood products industry, which relies on renewable timber resources that sequester carbon. In 2025, AWC released an Environmental Product Declaration for U.S. softwood lumber in the Northern region, reflecting its ongoing work to document the environmental performance of wood products. It represents a substantial portion of the industry and pursues improvements in building codes and standards, including initiatives related to mass timber practices. It maintains a focus on providing information and resources that help manufacturers navigate design, sustainability, and regulatory considerations.
