Did you know that the Urban Forestry Department (UFD) in Washington D.C. offers schools and parks the opportunity to enjoy a variety of useful products to improve school grounds and parks at no cost? Made from upcycled public trees, these finely crafted benches, stumps, and other seating structures serve as living classrooms and natural storage lockers for carbon, all the while connecting students to the natural resources around them.
So how does this all work? Suitable trees ready for reuse are transported to the UFD sawmill and fashioned into a variety of requested products.
These works of wooden art are then transported to the requesting school or park by UFD staff.
