Some may think that it is odd for a Solid Wood Furniture Manufacturer to be so interested in fighting Deforestation. In a way, it is a little odd since we continue to encourage discriminate consumers to invest in solid wood products from North America. However, the relationship couldn't be more ideal.

For those of you who know already, since 1972 The Arbor Day Foundation has been inspiring people and companies to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees through their broad range of programs. You may have seen one of their tree magazines come to your door recently, which gives you the chance to purchase trees to raise funds to replant trees thoughout the North America.
Most recently, West Bros decided to get more involved with this organization and re-structure our warranty program around it. Today, We're making a donation for every customer who returns their warranty card to us. West Bros will provide all US-based customers with a membership to the Arbor Day Foundation and arrange for 10 sappling trees to be sent to their door to plant wherever they wish. Canadian customers are sent confirmation that 7 trees will be planted in their honour in a Canadian Forest in most need. This is all in addition to help fund many Arbor Day programs that we will talk about in future blogs.
We recently had an opportuntiy to showcase our new program at the High Point Furniture Market in North Carolina. We were fortunate to have Brian Schenk from the Arbor Day Foundation there with us to meet many of our retail and design partners.
