  • Only mature trees that can no longer store Carbon are picked.
  • By picking the tallest trees, we open space on the canopy of leaves, bringing sunlight into the forest and allowing new, stronger trees to grow.
  • 100% of our products are certified by either FSC or Unifloresta.
  • And on top of that, we have our own Due Care Compliance Program, which requires a third-party chain of custody audit from the forest floor to your door.
