The Brayton School's completed Garden Amphitheatre
CitiLog has completed the Brayton School (Summit, NJ) benches for the school’s outdoor Centennial Garden Amphitheatre. See story here!

The benches were completed at CitLog’s Newark Sawmill, and put into place outside of The Brayton School just in time for the school’s garden dedication ceremony. The new amphitheater is in close proximity to the town’s Memorial Field, allowing adults and children alike to enjoy the garden. The new CitiLog benches were upcycled from trees taken from the school’s site.

The new benches act as an educational model on the importance of upcycling and proper sustainable practices.

Arbor Day at CitiLog Newark

Arbor Day, April 27th is a special day for CitiLog Newark! Originating in Nebraska City, Nebraska by J. Sterling Morton. Arbor Day is a holiday in which people are encouraged to plant and care for trees. At CitiLog we are doing our part by “giving new life” to trees that are no longer wanted due to removal for new construction, or have proven dangerous because of the overgrown size and neglect. We are blessed to be able to take these trees and upcycle them. Upcycling is taking something that is considered waste and turning it into something of greater use or value. CitiLog takes these trees and manufactures them into finished wooden products. Whether it be industrial such as trailer decking or pallet components, or finished wooden log benches; CitiLog can meet any of your individual needs. For CitiLog, it is important to show good stewardship to the land as it is a sin to waste this natural resource. After all, if it wasn’t for Mother Nature, we wouldn’t be here today! Our site has been open for nearly 9 months. Here some photos of our current progress.
