Turning Durham-Chapel Hill’s Urban Tree Waste into Affordable Housing Solutions

With Support From N.C. State’s Wood Products Extension and the NC Urban Wood Group

  • We work with arborists, city officials, landfill owners, and landowners to ensure that usable logs stay out of the landfills

  • We use our sawmills, kilns, and millwork shop to process urban wood into high quality building material

  • We sell 100% local lumber and code-approved Accessory Dwelling Unit kits

  • Following extreme weather, we utilize our hub-and-spoke supply chain network to ensure that an influx of urban wood gets diverted into building materials

  • We replenish Durham and Chapel Hill’s urban forest by growing and offering replacement trees
