The use of wood in
construction not only enhances the beauty and strength of a building it
helps the environment.
Trees grown
for lumber make all our lives better.

Wood is a miracle product that combines beauty,
strength and resilience making it an excellent material for construction.
The
Southern Yellow Pine we use is a renewable lumber grown in tree farms in North
Florida and South Georgia. These 25 year trees provide animal habitat and scenic
views.
Growing
1 pound of wood uses 1.7 pound of carbon dioxide and produces 1.07 pound of
oxygen. Each year the lumber grown for Chambers Truss removes 12 million pounds of
greenhouse gas and makes 9 million pounds of oxygen.
Without
the demand for lumber created by companies like Chambers Truss the forests that
produce the lumber would not exist. Most Southern Yellow Pine is grown on
private land. The owners of that land will put that land to use one way or
another. We at Chambers Truss believe that growing trees for lumber benefits all
of us.
