Before the earth beneath Western Pennsylvania fueled one of America’s great industrial cities, it forged our first natural resource: Pennsylvania hardwood. The mills are gone but the forest lives on in a thriving urban setting. Now, Urban Tree Forge gives the Iron City’s urban forest a new purpose.
Urban Tree Forge turns wood salvaged from Pittsburgh’s forest into sustainable, green, building materials and inventive custom furniture. Our urban wood has character that can only be created by the challenge of city life. The city’s tenacious past become part of every piece and keep its rich history alive.
Re-using city trees not only helps us keep history healthy, it helps us sustain a healthy environment. It reduces our carbon footprint, lessens our dependence on wood from national forests, and keeps natural resources local.
Let the urban forest live on with sustainable wood products.
