The Softwood Lumber Board (SLB) is a nonprofit, industry-supported initiative dedicated to promoting the benefits and uses of softwood lumber in outdoor, residential, and non-residential construction. Its programs seek to increase demand for softwood lumber products, especially in appearance-oriented applications. The organization is based in Oregon City, Oregon, and operates with a small team aligned around coordinating industry efforts through its website. Its primary audience comprises professionals involved in wood construction, including builders, developers, and designers, who specify softwood lumber for a range of projects. Within the construction and forestry sector, the SLB functions as a collaborative platform that advances wood construction solutions through partnerships with public entities and industry groups. In 2025–2026 the organization expanded its Accelerator Cities Program to Portland and Santa Monica, building on earlier pilots, and it has engaged in collaborations with entities such as the USDA Forest Service to broaden its accelerator initiatives.
