Jefferson Public Radio recently aired a segment on the many possibilities nanocellulose could bring to their local community in rural northern California. The station’s listeners live in the vicinity of a feasibility study led by the Forest Products Laboratory (FPL). The study is looking at building a nanocellulose production facility and what that could mean for jobs, economics, and forest health.

Listen here as FPL Assistant Director Alan Rudie and Dan Blessing, a natural resources staff officer from the Klamath National Forest, describe the pursuit of nanocellulose technology and how it can benefit forests and people alike.

The feasibility study is looking at building a larger version of FPL’s nanocellulose pilot plant.
