Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy land?
Yes, we buy wooded land within our area. Each purchase is done with the intent of increasing our own land base. This helps us sustain an environmentally healthy and manageable forest for generations to come.
Why should a customer cut down their trees?
Trees are one of the most profitable and sustainable resources available to us because their harvesting, processing, and manufacturing process have one of the lowest environmental costs. Without proper management practices, we risk wasting away this beautiful resource to disease, and infestation. A landowner’s refusal to harvest will continue to place pressure on over-harvested corporate forests and the unethically treated rainforests outside of our borders.

Does tree removal hurt the environment?
There is always a wrong and right way of handling tree removal. Through the media, we have been able to witness the concerns that arise when companies don’t practice ecological protection. However, when a harvest is done correctly within our borders, forests can become an improved habitat for many members of the animal kingdom through the promotion of new trees and vegetation growth.
