Kid's Creations want to ensure you that the lumber you are getting with your swing set is not only top quality and durable but supplied in a way that is friendly to our environment.

We only use suppliers that follow these criteria:

They harvest the lumber from their own lands
They replant and reforest the harvested area.

Sustainable Forestry

Kid's Creations purchases only from suppliers that have made the following commitment to sustainable forestry:

To practice sustainable forestry to meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations.
To use and promote sustainable forestry practices that are economically, environmentally and socially responsible.
To protect forests from wildfire, pests, diseases and other damage and to maintain and improve long-term forest health and productivity.
To manage lands of special significance, whether biological, geological, cultural or historical, in a manner that takes into account their unique qualities.
To comply with federal, state and local forestry and environmental laws and regulations

Q. Does the lumber Kid's Creations uses come from sustainably managed forests?

A. Yes. Each year, our suppliers harvest less than 2 percent of their forests. This means that any particular forested area is disturbed only once every 50-70 years. The rest of the time, 98 percent of the forest is growing, providing shelter for wildlife, protecting waterways and producing clean air for the atmosphere.

Q. What happens to the land after Redwoods are harvested?

A. After harvest, lands are promptly replanted or managed to ensure that redwood forests are renewed. California regulations require that forests are renewed. Because our suppliers harvest from their own lands, they make certain that healthy new forests start quickly.
