SustainabilityAND FOREST MANAGEMENT.

An essential part of working with natural materials is preserving the health of one’s resources and the environment. Gates Milling, Inc. is dedicated to sustainably sourcing and replenishing timber and forests while manufacturing quality, durable materials. Wood products have provided character and functional value in the building industry for centuries, and are primed for longevity with their natural energy efficiency and eco-friendly attributes. When it comes to producing lumber, it requires less energy to make wood products than most other materials. Healthy forest management and sustainable harvesting allow utilization of these vital natural materials without compromising the resource for future generations. At Gates Milling, every portion of the log is utilized as lumber or biproduct, each of which is recyclable and biodegradable. Now in its third generation of family ownership, Gates Milling strives to uphold this dedication to sustainability as both a manufacturer and steward to nature’s precious resources.
