As Patrick Moore, GreenPeace co-founder said.
Firewood industry standards
Our firewood
Hills Heat is one of the earliest members of the FAA with member number 008 so with having FAA certification we can assure our Firewood is sourced in a positive effort towards the environment and in a sustainable process.
Our Firewood is self-sustainably grown in several floodplains forming forests in western New South Wales.
With natural and controlled flooding, the renewable source of energy regenerates self-sustainably within an 8 -10-year cycle and unlike fossil fuels, firewood is easily replenished with little environmental impacts.
Our suppliers and their strict daily procedures that are upheld by the state forest legislations and their latest technologies are working together to ensure the regulations are being met.
Our suppliers are actively managing our natural forests in growing to their full potential through forest thinning, by doing so they are preventing the forest from naturally dying off by removing the underprivileged trees. In this process it also provides a healthier environment for the forest habitat, giving it an opportunity to flourish. The suppliers are doing what nature does only emphasizing on vital light, nutrients and living space that the forest and biodiversity of the forest relies on.
“One of the best ways to address climate change is to use more wood, not less. Wood is simply the most abundant, biodegradable, and reusable material on the planet.”
