Last year, more than 2.3 billion seedlings were planted in the United States by the forestry community. That's more than nine new trees for every man, woman and child in America.

Sustainability
    Select Forest Products is committed to new growth, plantation-grown imported woods, and salvaged, reclaimed woods only. We will not sell any rainforest or tropical woods which are not grown exclusively for the purpose of commercial lumbering uses, worldwide. There's alot of misinformation out there about the actual status of new growth forests, and we'd like to point out a few facts for our customers:

• The United States and Canada grow about twice as much hardwood as they harvest annually.
• Wood is a natural resource, renewable and recyclable.
• Buildings, barns, ships and other structures made of wood often find a second life in wood flooring, cabinets, walls and ceilings.
• In the early 1600s, forests covered about one-half of the area of what is now the continental United States. More than a billion acres of land was forested when the pilgrims arrived. Today, even with all the clearing for development, with all the tree harvesting, with all the wood products we have consumed in 350 years, we still have more than 753 million acres in forests, nearly three-quarters as much as when the first settlers arrived.
• Last year, more than 2.3 billion seedlings were planted in the United States by the forestry community. That's more than nine new trees for every man, woman and child in America.
• Leading allergists agree that wood floors are the perfect choice for a healthy home.
• Foresters sustain habitats that teem with wildlife, contribute to clean air and water, provide recreational opportunities and supply products that find new life in the home.
