At this time of year we think of one of the symbols of the season, the Christmas Tree.
It has entered into our psyche re-enforcing all the good things we associate with this time of year, the giving of presents, family togetherness and happiness.
Cutting down and decorating a tree is an old tradition and has always been associated with the celebration of Christmas.
Trees and wood of all types is used as a raw material in manufacturing of all types of products and it is at this juncture I am duty bound to mention....Office Furniture!
However, the good thing is, 'SUSTAINABILITY' is the buzz word and trees are typically grown as a crop for this purpose and replanted
in rotation after cutting, often providing suitable habitat for various forms of wildlife.
The Forest Stewardship Council promotes responsible forest management worldwide, more about their founding principles can be seen on their website

It only leaves me to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
From all the 'Team' at Desk Warehouse.
