Sustainable Forest Management is defined as the stewardship and use of forests and forest lands in a way, and at a rate, that maintains their biodiversity, productivity, regeneration capacity, vitality and their potential to fulfill, now and in the future, relevant ecological, economic and social functions, at local, national, and global levels, and that does not cause damage to other ecosystems.
We’ve established standards of ethic, sustainability, and quality absolutely unparalleled in today’s forestry and lumber industry. We’re a small family operation and we do everything ourselves. No middle men, no abused farmer at the end of the line, no depleted soil. We plant trees, manage the farm and live the land. We harvest the most mature and adequate trees and we produce lumber on site with our own top-of-the-line sawmill. We have an intricate and complete knowledge of our wood and its properties such as was common perhaps 200 years ago but is perhaps almost gone today.
We sell premium quality sustainable wood and have an authentic, un-compromised process about our way of life in our cherished forest. We’re constantly working in the jungle we love – planting, working the land, harvesting, etc. Lumber availability depends on many factors including how many mature trees we’ve got of a given species, our overall forest management plan for sustainability, ecology and nature protection, the season, our work load, administrative questions (in Costa Rica, permits are required from the ministry of the environment in order to sell wood and lumber), and unexpected events (for example when we find valuable fallen trees in the forest). You can find our current availability and offers on the sustainable wood page, along with more info on our forestry practices.
