SEEDLINGS TRANSPLANTED

FROM THE GREEN HOUSES, WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN

GROWN FROM SEEDS.

YOUNG TREES GROW IN THE

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.

EVERY FIVE YEARS THEY ARE THINNED OUT. THIS ALLOWS

FOR THE REMAINING TREES

TO MAKE MORE PROGRESS

AFTER TWENTY FIVE YEARS THE TREES ARE ALMOST READY FOR FELLING. THE GROWTH OF THE TREES IS

MONITORED CAREFULLY. THEY ARE FELLED WHEN TWENTY

FIVE TO THIRTY YEARS OF AGE.

AFTER FELLING. WOOD IS SENT TO THE WOOD MILL. PROCESSED FOR PAPER / MDF AND

FURNITURE. FELLED TREES REPLACED BY

PLANTING SEEDLINGS. THE TWENTY FIVE TO

THIRTY YEAR LIFE CYCLE BEGINS.

1 YEAR OLD

SEEDLINGS GROWN IN GREEN

HOUSES UNTIL STRONG /

ESTABLISHED. THEN

TRANSPLANTED IN SUSTAINABLE

FOREST.

NATURAL WOOD - SUSTAINABILITYA SUSTAINABLE FOREST IS A FOREST THAT IS CAREFULLY MANAGED, SO THAT AS TREES ARE FELLED THEY ARE

REPLACED WITH SEEDLINGS, THAT EVENTUALLY GROW INTO MATURE TREES. THIS IS A CAREFULLY AND SKILLFULLY MANAGED SYSTEM.
