Our Commitment to Green

The Hardwood Lumber Company is committed to sustainable logging. All of the domestic wood species are harvested from the Northern Appalachian region, which plants and grows more trees than are harvested. The exotic species are imported from properly managed forests throughout the world.

The commitment to the environment also carries over to daily operations. For years, the Hardwood Lumber Company has used sawdust and wood scrap material to heat their buildings and operate drying kilns. This type of energy is near carbon neutral when done properly, generating less harmful pollutants than many traditional heating sources, while also eliminating the need for oil and gas drilling, storage, and transportation.

In 2009, the Hardwood Lumber Company applied for a grant to install an electricity generating wind turbine. Feasability testing is currently underway.
