Harvesting sustains both an eco-system and an industry, as the nurturing of these trees is critical to the health of the environment for wildlife, flora, and CO2 retention. The trees are not cut down or harmed in any way by the harvesting, which makes cork oak flooring the original, natural, green choice for environmentally-conscious architects and designers. We have lots more info about this on our blog. Cheers! Team Wicanders Hi Kerry,

Coconut wood flooring is harvested from coconut plantations at the end of their coconut- bearing years and are then cut down and replanted with new coconut palms with the old palms made into our coconut wood flooring.
