SUSTAINABLY MANAGED WESTERN RED CEDAR
British Columbia’s forests are sustainably harvested to ensure an ongoing supply of western red cedar.
Western red cedar is an outstanding green building material. It is responsibly and sustainably harvested in the publicly managed forests of British Columbia, Canada. Less than 1% of standing timber is harvested each year. For each tree harvested, three are replanted to ensure the forest will exist in perpetuity.
Western red cedar has minimal impact on the environment throughout its life cycle. It requires significantly less energy to produce than man-made alternatives and is biodegradable.
