Sustainability

Sustainability means a lot of things to so many people in regards to forestry. Logging large settings 20,000 plus metres or hundreds of thousands of board feet at one time, replanting the area and having it regenerate to a partial forest 30-50 years or more from now is not exactly the kind of sustainability we had in mind. Corkboot's idea of sustainability is working an area, selecting the right tree(s) whether healthy, over mature, or diseased, then working the logs into the appropriate project and allowing the rest of the forest to develop and mature properly. Some may argue that a substantial living can't be obtained with this kind of philosophy and this is where Corkboot will help with the help of others. Together we all can educate each other. Not one person knows everything and I know I don't, but when you put hardworking forestry, wood product and wood working professionals together with the help and expertise of some of the environmental groups magic can happen. When you allow yourself to explore new opportunities, markets that were not there previous can suddenly appear. Times are changing, we all have to be receptive to change or change will leave us behind. Remember take a tree not a forest.
