Rockler Woodworking and Hardware (Medina, Minn.) donated more than $11,000 to a Hardwood Forestry Fund forest restoration project in Northeast Texas in honor of Earth Day.
Rockler’s $11,396 donation matches the 11,396 seedlings that will be planted in the Gilmont Upland Hardwood Restoration Project, where drought and disease damaged an existing stand of hardwood trees across 22 acres on the Gilmont Camp and Conference Center property. The contribution will go toward costs for support and project management.
“We’re proud to continue our long-standing partnership with the Hardwood Forestry Fund,” said Scott Ekman, Rockler’s vice president of marketing, in a statement. “Projects like the Gilmont restoration site benefit the environment and help guarantee the availability of precious resources for future generations of woodworkers.”
