Burning the Future: Shedding Light on the Destructive Wood Pellet Industry in North Carolina 09-30-23

On September 30, 2023, the Rachel Carson Council (RCC) and the Southern Forests Conservation Coalition (SFCC) led a cruise down Wilmington, North Carolina’s Cape Fear river to expose the environmental health and ecological wreckage caused by the wood pellet industry. The world’s largest producer of wood pellets, Enviva, has laid waste to thousands of acres of forest in North Carolina and throughout the United States Southeast, clear cutting trees that crucially serve as carbon storage, sickening communities from pollutants, and seriously debilitating coastal ecosystems.
