At Vermont Hardwoods, we have been working with quality
wood since 1979. We have learned a lot about wood, and the process by
which it gets from the forest to your home or business. What we like about
it is the fact that is keeps the local economy going. Our neighbors
benefit as much as we do, and it helps New England keep its New England
ways.
Our "nutshell" answer to the sustainability of
the woods we use is that our lumber comes from North American forests that are managed
and increasing in their size, that using any wood product helps reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, and using raw materials sourced and processed in
the US contributes to our local economy.
However, the answer is not quite so simple or easy. If
you'd like to know more about the sustainability of North American
hardwoods, and the current climate of green thinking, please see our in
depth thoughts on this page.
