Urbanwood: A Better, Sustainable Option for Removed Trees

We know that wood disposal can be challenging and expensive for arborists and managers of urban and community forests. You’ve heard that logs from city trees can’t be used for anything but mulch or fuel. This simply isn’t true.

Our partners can show you how city trees can still be made into everything from rough lumber for maintenance projects to beautiful, high-end flooring. All it takes is a little advance planning, and we can help you work out an efficient system to sort and handle logs so that your removed trees can find new life.

Southeast Michigan’s Urbanwood Project conserves resources, supports local jobs, and can reduce wood disposal costs for operations like yours. Show your support for creating a more sustainable Southeast Michigan by joining the Urbanwood Project. Visit their website, urbanwood.org, to learn more.
