Environmentally Minded
Our
Old Timer family cares about the world we live in. The wood
characteristic of a log home lets it blend in well with nature.
We depend on quality woodlands and their preservation to provide
quality products for production of our log homes. It is this
concern and care for the environment that makes Old Timer Log
Homes a very different kind of log home and supply company.
Old Timer Log Homes purchases raw materials from suppliers who
endorse forest management practices that promote sustainable
forests and result in long-term environmental, social, and economic
benefit. Our suppliers promote implementation of and compliance
with constructive logging laws in all global timber-producing
regions.
We
design, manufacture, and distribute our homes so we are very
aware that it takes the best material to create your home and
make it into a beautiful, long-lasting structure. For our homes,
Eastern White Pine that comes from several eastern states of
the USA and sources from Canada, which gives us flexibility.
We are not dependant on just one forest region.
Due
to Old Timer Log Homes strict quality control and high standards,
not every log that we receive can be used in manufacturing our
homes. To minimize waste and help protect our environment, Old
Timer Log Homes uses every part of the material possible.
We
are committed to recycling our wood and by-products. By finding
another use somewhere in our manufacturing process, we sell
shavings for pet bedding, horse bedding and other uses.
We
continue to be as efficient as possible and use today's technology
to save as many trees as possible. Old Timer Log Homes wants
there to be as many trees available for generations to come
who dream of having a log home. We recognize the importance
of protecting our natural resources so that others may have
and enjoy them.
