No. Vendors that we purchase products from are certified by various forestry councils to ensure that sustainable forestry is practiced.
What is sustainable forestry?
It is the practice of managing and conserving all forest resources to meet the needs of society today and for future generations.
Under sustainable forestry guidelines, our vendors plan their forest landscapes using a variety of species, age classes and stand
densities, and harvest using several methods, including clear cutting . Clear cutting is an acceptable and appropriate forest practice
that does not damage the environment when planned and conducted in a responsible manner. It is especially useful for quickly
establishing and growing tree seedlings that require maximum sunlight to flourish. Without the sunlight, trees seedlings will not
survive and grow.
How much is harvested and when is a tree ready for harvest?
On a annual average, our vendors clearcut less than 2% of their forestlands annually. In Addition, aesthetic considerations are
included in tree harvest planning which allows harvested areas to reach five feet in height or three years of age before clear-cutting on
adjacent forestlands. Also, forest breaks averaging 300 feet wide between clearcut areas are maintained to enhance visual appeal as
well as to provide wildlife habitat and travel corridors.
What happens after harvesting?
Each year, our vendors regenerate all forest acres harvested. These sustainable forestlands are planted with tree seedlings
developed to grow faster, grow straighter, to become more disease resistant and to produce more than twice the wood volume of a
natural wood forest.
