Part of what makes us tick at Ardea Timberworks is participating in the community of the Northern Forest. From Boreal Spruce to towering Pine, we delight in bringing a deeper connection to our environment through the craft of working wood. An equally important part in the process are the arts of mindful forestry and healing harvest. We partner in a chain of lumber supply that includes progressive foresters prescribing sustainable and regenerative planning in concert with low impact harvest, carried out by skilled draft powered operations.
Purchasing logs for our timber frames from horse and oxen powered loggers allows us to support a truly low impact forestry. Draft animals, fueled on grass, are able to nimbly remove logs with an impressively low amount of damage to the communities of flora and fauna that will remain after the harvest is done. Leaving only footprints.
Together with teamsters like John Smolinsky of Earthbound forestry services https://earthboundforestryservices.weebly.com we offer draft powered frame packages where lumber is sourced from our neighborhood or yours. In many instances we can contract with teamsters local to you to use logs from your own property to build structures that support and showcase these crafts.
