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.

Barker & Stonehouse is the first retailer in the UK to stock products from the Trees4TreesTM range.
