.Cedar is a superior alternative – Western Red Cedar looks better than plastic or resin. It is also a non-toxic alternative to chemically treated wood, often referred to as pressure-treated, which are soaked in chemical preservatives and require warning labels for anyone handling them.
Cedar is a renewable resource – When it comes to environmental performance, natural wood is superior to synthetic products in every way. Unlike brick, cement, and composites, Real Cedar is renewable and biodegradable. The Western Red Cedar we offer at WND is grown in managed forests subject to controlled harvests and reforestation programs.
