WE USE THE FINEST SUSTAINABLE HARDWOODS WaterRower’s wooden models are handcrafted from a selection of the world’s finest sustainable hardwoods.
THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS Our Verified Sustainable Hardwoods are sourced from the Appalachian Mountain region of the eastern United States (see map), where planting rates exceed harvest rates by an average multiple of 2.29. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Inventory and Analysis research has found that annual timber harvest levels in the 344-county Appalachian Hardwood Region have been substantially less than net annual growth for more than 50 years. Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers, Inc. (AHMI) has verified data from the U.S. Forest Service that timber harvesting from the Appalachian Hardwood Territory as defined by AHMI is able to meet present needs without compromising those of future generations sustainably. The Appalachian Hardwood Timber resource includes more than 65.4 million acres in the eastern United States and provides the world with a bounty of the finest hardwood species. AHMI is an association of lumber producers and suppliers who manufacture and distribute the lumber and products from this region.
THE APPALACHIAN FOREST IS: Growing an average of 2.29 trees for every tree that is harvested Growing in 12 states in the eastern U.S. with more than 65 million acres Growing Oak, Maple, Cherry, Poplar, Walnut, Ash, Beech, Birch, Hickory, & Basswood Growing "Green" Lumber Resources for your products and customers
