Why the Real American Hardwood Coalition (RAHC) Matters

In this industry, nothing is guaranteed. Especially with companies running amuck, harvesting timber in a way that can negatively impact the environment. The truth is– harvesting timber is beneficial as long as it’s done correctly.

At Green Ridge Forest Products, we strive to help our clients get the most out of their timber. For decades, we’ve led the Pennsylvania forest industry and have delivered the best management practices to all of our clients.

Our timber harvesting operations are designed to sustain your forestland for future generations and help support its new growth. We're committed to sustainable forestry in everything that we do, and we bring those values with us with every new client we meet. Of course, we love helping others make quality timber products out of the forest resources we buy from our clients. But even more than that, we love bringing value to our clients by offering them the best prices for their timber, and supporting their decisions to make a difference in their environment. 

The services we supply give clients the ability to harvest for years to come and gives everyone involved the satisfaction of knowing we are promoting sustainable forest management all throughout Pennsylvania.

That’s why we’re proud to support the RAHC, a voluntary, industry-wide, domestic initiative that seeks to promote Real American Hardwood™ products. 

Why Real American Hardwood?

Hardwood is nationally sought-out for many reasons. Flooring, cabinets, fencing, decks– you name it! There’s many even better reasons to choose hardwood, though. Hardwoods are naturally renewable and also give back to the environment as they grow. They are also recyclable and can be repurposed at the end of their life cycle. This allows for greenhouse gas emissions than you’d typically see with other non-renewable resources like metal or concrete. 

When you choose hardwood, you’re making a natural investment in the environment. You’re also allowing businesses like Green Ridge Forest Products help you harvest your timber in a way that is beneficial to your property and promotes new regrowth all while allowing wildlife to remain safe.

Our decades of experience in forestry management make us experts in timber sustainability. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and help you decide what the best route of action is for your timber, no matter how large or small your forest is!
