HISTORY
Environmentally concerned members of the Hardwood Plywood & Veneer Association created the Hardwood Forestry Fund in 1990. These individuals wanted to replace hardwood trees used to manufacture consumer products like hardwood flooring, plywood, furniture, and decorative accessories. Since 1990, membership has grown to include many segments of the forest products industry, as well as environmentally concerned individuals, and foundations. The Hardwood Forestry Fund has planted more than 2.5 million trees in 22 U.S. states and four foreign countries. Planting projects require a management plan, harvest, and regeneration schedule. That way, we know the trees are cared for to provide future generations with healthy available resources.
