Bringing Urban Lumber from the Caribbean to Colorado. Our focus has primarily been on converting urban trees from northern Colorado into usable hardwoods. So what made us take a leap into milling imported Genuine Mahogany? Turns out, it fits right in with our story. Working with bookmatched slabs is one of our absolute favorite ways to build a table. slabs are two successive cuts from the same log that can be paired together, either mirroring each other or, in the case of this Siberian Elm t...

Wasp releases to fight emerald ash borer (EAB). Posted on June 28, 2017 by colleenrobinson. Adult T planipennisi wasp collected as a pupa in Ozaukee County, May 2017. This species attacks EAB larvae beneath the bark. Actual size is 1/8. This summer, DNR staff will continue to do introductions of three natural enemy wasps that attack emerald ash borer: Tetrastichus planipennisi, Spathius galinae and Oobius agrili. The Tetrastichus and Spathius wasps attack EAB larvae beneath the bark, and t...

Effects of urban tree management and species selection on atmospheric carbon dioxide
https://www.nrs.fs.fed.us/pubs/8815... [Urban Forestry] [] [Journal Article] 2002
Nowak, David J.; Stevens, Jack C.; Sisinni, Susan M.; Luley, Christopher J.
Trees sequester and store carbon in their tissue at differing rates and amounts based on such factors as tree size at maturity, life span, and growth rate. Concurrently, tree care practices release carbon back to the atmosphere based on fossil-fuel emissions from maintenance equipment (e.g., chain saws, trucks, chippers). Management choices such as tree locations for energy conservation and tree disposal methods after removal also affect the net carbon effect of the urban forest. Different speci...

Air pollution removal by urban trees and shrubs in the United States

Nowak, David J.; Crane, Daniel E.; Stevens, Jack C.
A modeling study using hourly meteorological and pollution concentration data from across the coterminous United States demonstrates that urban trees remove large amounts of air pollution that consequently improve urban air quality. Pollution removal (03, PM10, NO2, SO2, CO) varied among cities with total annual air pollution removal by US urban trees estimated at 711,000 metric tons ($3.8 billion value). Pollution removal is only one of various ways that urban trees affect air quality. Integrat...

Trees, tree canopy, other vegetation, and greenspace are critical resources in urban areas, towns, and communities that significantly affect everything from environmental quality and human health to economics, resilience, crime, and more. However, relatively little is known about the magnitude, composition, and health of this resource in most communities. As well, we are only beginning to discover how trees and greenspace positively influence public health and personal mental and emotional heal...

Wood From the Hood
From left to right owners Rick & Cindy Siewert and Jon Buck, Custom Design Manager. The idea came to Cindy and Rick Siewert as they watched an old Ash tree being cut down in the backyard of their Minneapolis home. Losing their neighborhood tree was hard enough, but hauling it to a landfill was not an option. With a family history in the commercial cabinetry business since 1965, the Siewerts knew the life of this tree didn t have to end because it was being removed. Currently, most trees in t...

As Reclaimed West grows, so does our knowledge of reclaimed materials and where to find them. Our cities and towns are abundant with beautiful trees all around us. We pass by them everyday on our way to work, school, or play. Sometimes an urban tree will need to be removed due to sickness or city planning. RW wants to capture and reuse the beauty in these trees for something more than mulch. We have been able to reclaim urban forest deadfall from towns in Colorado and California. Our inven...

Only a small fraction of this wood is currently being processing into value added wood products. . When this wood is converted into lumber the carbon is store...
