All trees have a life cycle, so we are making every effort to save the trees we can from ending up in landfills. When city trees need to be removed, we preserve their natural beauty and also limit carbon emissions by, salvaging trees lost during storms, disease, or normal senescence and recycling this wood into useable raw lumber.

25 yeas ago, West Coast Arborists, Inc., (WCA) started an urban wood recycling program in collaboration with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF).  (WCA) is a tree maintenance and management provider serving cities, counties, and school districts. Since a number of trees living within our City streets and parks eventually decline and require removal it became imperative to identify ways to salvage what we could.
