All wood is an environmentally responsible choice in that it is a 100 percent renewable resource. However, not all forests are responsibly managed. The wood we mill at Hull Forest Products is grown and harvested sustainably within the United States under some of the most stringent environmental laws in the world. When you choose a forest product grown in the United States, you support wood as a commodity and ensure that it will continue to be grown here and harvested sustainably. You as the consumer provide the incentive for landowners to keep their land in forest, helping to absorb greenhouse gases and clean and filter our air. We recognize that many consumers are seeking wood from forests that are independently verified as well-managed, and that is why Hull Forest Products holds a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) chain of custody certificate from Scientific Certification Systems, a leading third-party certifier of wood products manufacturers. Hull Forestlands also holds an FSC forest management/chain of custody certificate from SmartWood, a third-party green certification program of the Rainforest Alliance's Sustainable Forestry Division. The Rainforest Alliance is an international nonprofit conservation organization that certifies forestry and agricultural operations, ensuring that they meet rigorous standards for the conservation of natural resources and the rights and welfare of workers and local communities.
Hull Forest Products is an industry leader in forest conservation and the Hull family land trust, Hull Forestlands L.P., has permanently protected over 8,000 acres of its prime southern New England forestland from development, helping to preserve the working forests that are the backbone of our region's rural character. Because we have opted for conservation restrictions that prohibit development, our forestland will forever remain a productive, working landscape that provides jobs and timber as well as plant and wildlife habitat, scenic viewsheds, carbon sequestration, open space, and recreational opportunity.
