At Moravia Hardwoods, we are committed to sourcing the highest quality timber for our products. One of the key aspects of maintaining this standard is our policy of not purchasing trees that have grown in yards/towns. Here are the main reasons behind this decision:
1. Quality and Consistency
Trees grown in yards often lack the uniform growth conditions found in managed forests. Factors such as soil quality, water availability, and exposure to sunlight can vary greatly in an open setting, leading to inconsistencies in the wood’s quality. For our products, we require timber that meets strict standards of consistency and durability, which is more reliably sourced from professionally managed forests.
2. Environmental and Ethical Considerations
We are dedicated to sustainable forestry practices. Trees in yards are often part of the local ecosystem, providing habitat for wildlife and contributing to the area’s biodiversity. Removing these trees can disrupt the local environment and negatively impact the ecosystem. By sourcing our timber from certified sustainable forests, we ensure that our practices support environmental conservation and responsible forestry management.
3. Legal and Safety Concerns
Harvesting trees from yards can involve complex legal issues, including property rights and local regulations. Additionally, trees in yards may have been treated with chemicals or pesticides that could affect the safety and quality of the timber. By sourcing from regulated forests, we can guarantee that our timber is safe, legally obtained, and free from harmful substances.
4. Professional Standards
Our commitment to excellence means that we adhere to the highest professional standards in all aspects of our business. This includes sourcing our timber from reputable suppliers who follow best practices in forestry management. By doing so, we can ensure that our customers receive the best possible products, crafted from high-quality, sustainably sourced wood.
We hope this explanation helps our visitors understand the importance of our sourcing policies and our dedication to quality, sustainability, and ethical practices. Thank you for supporting Moravia Hardwoods.
I have highlighted the changes in yellow I would like to see made on this. In the US people will understand yard more than they will gardens.
