Responsibility
Native hardwoods are an important part of the species diversity that creates and maintains healthy and productive forests on the north coast of California. The Sustainable Hardwoods Network uses native hardwood species sourced from forest managers using the highest standards in sustainable forestry practices whenever possible, assuring the conservation and replenishment of our magnificent coastal forests. Sustainable Forestry and Local Self-reliance When you buy products from the Sustainable Hardwoods Network your purchase supports both sustainable forest management and self-reliant rural communities on the north coast of California. The Sustainable Hardwoods Network consists of locally-owned businesses providing products and services including: forest management, restoration, milling, drying, secondary manufacturing, retail wood products, on-site construction, and fine woodworking. Each of these businesses shares a commitment to ecologically and socially sustainable practices. Building a Future for Our Forests and Our Communities The Sustainable Hardwoods Network is moving beyond the traditional commodity-based timber economy and towards a resilient network of locally-owned businesses. The network creates and sustains high-skill, high-wage jobs by providing specific value-added products to local and regional markets without overharvesting our forest resources. We meet today's needs and provide for the needs of future genterations. Our goal is to increase community capacity to produce and market products that benefit both local entrepreneurs and north coast forest eco-systems. |
