Tree Town offers a broad range of sustainable timber products that can be installed in a variety of settings.

All of our timber products come from sustainable

timber forests. No tropical or rainforest timbers

are used.

 

Sustainable timber refers to timber that has been

harvested responsibly. That is, when one tree is cut down for use, another is immediately planted to

replace it. However, it is about more than just planting more trees to replace those being cut down – it also involves ensuring that there is no damage to the

surrounding environment, or to native flora and fauna.

 

Sustainable timber can be either softwood or

hardwood and it is available in a huge range

of species. As well, bamboo (even though it is

technically a grass) is classed as a sustainable

hardwood because it grows very fast, making

it incredibly renewable.
