The American hardwood forest consists of a diverse mix of species which
grow naturally across the United States. The forest is vast and continues
to grow more quickly than it is harvested. It increases in size by about
280,000 hectares each year.
If sustainable design is important to you, starting with American
hardwood species is the environmentally responsible choice.
