A not-for-profit community reforestation programme in Indonesia has launched an eco-friendly, ethical range of high-quality timber furniture in the UK.

 

 

Trees4TreesTM, which is backed by leading independent home furnishings retailer, Barker and Stonehouse (B&S), aims to provide beds, chests of drawers and kitchen and dining tables that are responsibly and ethically sourced.

 

Commenting on the new range of home furnishings, B&S managing director James Barker explained that "Trees4TreesTM was founded to ensure that timber for furniture production is replaced 'to the benefit of local communities".

 

 

He said that the products "are high quality, affordable and desirable whilst originating from a programme which makes a real difference to the communities of Indonesia".    The Trees4TreesTM programme provides local communities with tree saplings for Mango, Teak, Mahogany and other species, as well as education to help locals learn how to nurture and grow their resources for future prosperity.

Casual Living, August 14, 2008

Foundation expects to plant more than 200,000 trees by December.

 

 

A collaboration of furniture manufacturers and their customers has launched Trees4TreesTM, a non-profit foundation established in Indonesia to empower local communities through partnership reforestation initiatives and related education programs.

 

Trees4TreesTM distributes free seedlings of high value species including teak, mahogany and other furniture-grade woods to local farmers and resident land owners in Indonesia. The program provides technical guidance on planting and best forestry practices in addition to long-term monitoring to help the tree recipients maximize value.

 

 

The foundation also sponsors outreach educational programs in local communities and schools to raise awareness of the environmental and economic benefits of growing healthy trees. By increasing the area of community planted and owned forests, the negative effects of deforestation are reduced and the environment is renewed.

 

By the end of this year, Trees4TreesTM will have planted more than 200,000 trees. It plans to double the plantings in 2009.
