According to the Rainforest Alliance, sustainable forestry provides a way of using trees and non-timber forest products to meet people's ever-increasing need for lumber, paper and other products, without degrading forest ecosystems. Sustainable forestry is a process by which companies adopt more responsible practices: they increase protection of soils, waterways and wildlife, and they treat workers and neighboring communities fairly. Sustainable forestry ensures that forestslands retain their economic value for the long term. When a forest loses its economic value, it can face transformation into ranchland or housing developments.
Our mission is to help the planet by recycling reclaimed lumber (hardwoods & softwoods) from buildings and help connect wood consumers with FSC "Certified" hardwood and softwood lumber suppliers, which are good stewards of our timber supply and concerned about sustaining our forest.
In addition to FSC Certified Lumber Companies we have loaded our site with a great deal of information about North America timber lands and the many hardwood lumber species, which you may find in old buildings that you own. Again, one of the main purposes of our web site is to help you find us so we can help you find businesses that are experienced with properly recovering the antique lumber that you may discover in an old building that is being demolished.
Below is a table of the most common hardwood species in North America:
