Urban Forest Hardwoods is committed to responsible business practices and promotes wood as a renewable resource. We believe in the conservation of our forestry sources and our business is grounded in these principles.
Our logs are locally sourced from trees that are dying or storm-damaged, or have been selectively harvested as a result of development.
