Morven & UVA Sawmilling Collaboration
The Purpose
The purpose of this project is to provide a creative example of how UVA can foster a culture of sustainability among students, faculty and staff; and how the University might directly address the pressing societal challenges of environmental sustainability, while also enhancing and expanding the student experience.

The Partnership
The nature of this partnership enables sustainable reuse of otherwise wasted resources, providing opportunity for faculty and students from all disciplines to work across traditional boundaries, and exemplify a route toward being a more just and sustainable community.

The Possibilities
This project opens doors for a variety of sustainability projects. Downed trees that would otherwise go to waste will be milled, cut, and then utilized for projects around Morven’s property in future programming (stay tuned for updates!).
