I am concerned about the environmental impact of the wood I use for muddlers. I have spent many hours searching the internet to be sure none of the wood for my muddlers were endangered. But, that's an almost fruitless job. What I finally did was to select a wood supplier who had the same views and exclusively use them. That supplier is Bell Forest Products - a small wood supplier about 40 minutes north of me in the Upper Peninsular of Michigan.
Here's the policy statement I am relying upon:
"We at Bell Forest Products work closely with our suppliers to ensure that Responsible Forestry Practices are being followed. Our log and lumber suppliers actively combat illegal logging, and have policies in place regarding planned felling, minimum tree diameter, and felling rotation to ensure regrowth."
Beautiful wood from across the world is being used for all sorts of purposes. I support the suppliers who are working to replenish the forests and in turn, help local economies.
