Green Building / LEED Certification

Rainforest Alliance CertifiedAacer practices responsible forest management and supports only green-minded suppliers. Some manufacturer’s talk about buying only from responsibly managed forests, but they are one step removed from the actual management of the natural resource. Aacer’s owners have over four generations of experience in selectively managing and logging the native forests. When you own and respect timberland, you do what protects the environment. We were green long before it was politically correct, and we will be green for generations to come. Aacer encourages tours to our timberlands. Come see for yourself!
