"Twistered" Timber Goes West

Timber damaged from a tornado that swept through Nashville, Tn., will be milled by a Northern Californiabased firm for registration as SmartWood Rediscovered Wood.

On April 16, 1998, a twister swept through the grounds of The Hermitage, onetime estate of president Andrew Jackson. During the brief but destructive rampage, many

200-year-old trees were downed or uprooted.

Under an agreement, Plywood & Lumber Sales, Inc., Emeryville, Ca., agreed to salvage and mill the timber according to standards set by the Rainforest Alliance, an environmental organization that manages the SmartWood Rediscovered Wood program.

In addition, the wholesale distributor will give the Ladies' Hermitage Association l}Vo of the profits from the sale of the wood, enabling the preservation group to plant new trees and sow seedlings.

Customers who buy the milled eastern red cedar, cherry, hackberry, maple, poplar or walnut will receive a certificate of authenticity and a book about The Hermitage.
