Source Verified Good Wood

   |   By Adrian Perez


The Ponderosa Pine used to create our furniture designs is harvested in the Jemez Mountains and the Santa Fe National Forest in New Mexico, and is certified by Source Verified Good Wood®, an independent third-party organization with a mission to promote sustainability, responsible forest management, and the health of local ecosystems.

Verified wood can be traced back to its forest of origin, assuring you that your purchase has made a positive impact. By specifying our Ponderosa Pine wood designs, you become part of the solution, promoting healthy watersheds and reducing the threat of wildfires and disease outbreaks.

Source Verified Good Wood® was established to address accelerating environmental changes. Warming temperatures, extreme weather events, and damaging wildfires are stark reminders of the urgent need to protect our forests and watersheds.

Partnering with neighboring National Forests and local companies, Source Verified Good Wood® identifies sustainably harvested and managed wood products. They are committed to capturing materials from wildfire risks and aiding in forest restoration management.

Forest restoration treatments are a key aspect of the Source Verified Good Wood® program. By selectively removing overly dense small-diameter trees, the remaining trees received more nutrients, sunlight, and water, fostering a healthier and more resilient forest. This approach aligns with GoodWood’s goal of re-establishing fire regimes that shaped the ecosystems before fire suppression altered them. Threatened and endangered species are also protected under the rigorous standards of Source Verified Good Wood®, ensuring that the environmental impact of the furniture remains minimal.

By buying and manufacturing wood products in the Southwest, Pfeifer Studio helps to keep more dollars circulating locally, supporting workers, businesses, and communities. Our furniture designs crafted from Ponderosa Pine became not just pieces of art but symbols of a commitment to the environment, fostering a harmonious balance between human creativity and nature's delicate ecosystems.
