The Sustainable Future of Our Pacific
Northwest Forests
Companies like Delson Lumber are
playing an important role in the evolution of the Pacific Northwest
forest products industry. By making available wood products sourced
from sustainable managed timber lands, lumber wholesalers such as
Delson help to foster the increasing demand for green building
materials. Builders and dealers throughout North America who seek
lumber produced from sustainably managed forests have increasingly
come to rely on the Forest Stewardship Council designation and FSC -
certified suppliers. Delson Lumber is proud to be an FSC
Chain-of-Custody (CoC) lumber wholesale company.
Building Green with FSC - Certified Lumber
The U.S. Green Building Council is a
non-profit organization with a mission to promote energy efficient
design and the use of environmentally sound materials and methods of
construction. Their Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
certification program was created to establish national green
building standards and practices such as the use of FSC certified
wood products.
As a certified FSC company, Delson can
supply wood products which will earn the builder credits under the
LEED rating system.
Healthy Forests – Healthy Communities
Partnership
Delson Lumber is a member of the Healthy Forests – Healthy
Communities Partnership; a non-profit organization committed to
supporting the many small businesses in rural communities which rely

Northwest. The HFHC helps develop markets for a wide variety of
sustainable wood products supplied by its members. Read more
