As natural wood species go, redwood is in a class of its own.

A sustainable alternative to tropical hardwoods, redwood is grown and harvested to the highest environmental standards in the world.

Name for the dark red heartwood at the center of the tree,

redwood imparts natural beauty, warmth, and durability to interior and exterior building applications, including decking,

fencing, panelling, siding, exposed beams and timbers, pergolas and other shade structures.

To learn more about Redwood from Humboldt Sawmill, please visit getredwood.com. So I think thinking about like building science, thinking about programs like

DOE zero energy ready homes and energy star, getting trained in how to build to those standards

so that you can build better, but also so that you can get that tax credit,

it's very important.
