Institute for Conservation
Catherine Mater, President, Mater Engineering, also serves as a Senior Fellow to
the Pinchot Institute for Conservation based in Washington, DC. As a Senior fellow she provides expertise

and marketing strategies for secondary wood products and special forest
products for both domestic and international markets. Most recently, she has
assisted softwood and hardwood product manufacturers and producer
associations across the United States in identifying markets for sustainably
harvested “green certified” wood products, and has served as the project
manager for all certification pilot projects conducted on public forestlands
in the United States. Working with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur
