WHAT SETS US APART
Sustainablility
River Valley Woodworks believes in the future. For most of our projects, we carefully select urban logs that are being removed for reasons other than woodworking.
Why do we do this?
- We believe the tree canopy is an essential part of the environment.
- We are sensitive to these large mature trees’ threats, and we work to preserve them in the environment.
Why do we feel so strongly about this?
The care, patience, and long-term planning required to bring a tree to maturity contrast with the modern American culture of utilitarianism and efficiency. Also, since shade trees make most sense in cultures that value multi-generational dwellings, we believe that large shade trees could easily become too rare in our modern era of transience and fragmentation.
Bottom Line:
River Valley makes every effort to preserve the beauty of mature trees for future generations.
