• WHAT

    We operate an end-to-end Urban Forestry Service to produce timber, generate employment and lock up carbon.

    Using Highest And Best Use practice (HABU), we divert urban trees from going to waste by converting them into ethical timber products.

    Working closely with established millers, we mill, dry, machine and make furniture from urban logs.

  • WHY

    Every year, trees in Melbourne are removed due to reasons such as storms, disease, mitigating safety hazards or infrastructure development.

    While native forests are being logged, trees in our city are being considered “waste” and are mulched or dumped in the organic waste stream.

    There’s an urgent need to preserve our native forests and help Victoria’s construction sector to make use of wood resources we have locally available.
