For approximately four decades, the West Virginia Hardwoods Center at West Virginia University (WVU) has focused on one of the state's abundant natural resources. Dr. Joe McNeel, director of the Appalachian Hardwood Center and professor of Wood Science and Technology, leverages his experience and dedication to the state's hardwoods to help create and promote new products.
