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.

  1. I WENT TO BRAYTON SCHOOL IN 1962. WHAT A GREAY WAY TO GIVE NEW LIFE TREE'S.

  2. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Our company works with many schools and universities in UPCYCLING their trees and transforming them into greater use or value. As most people know, most trees that come down due to storm and demolition will generally wind up in a landfill or will be chipped for mulch at best. CITILOG'S cannot eliminate this mass amount of biomass that gets thrown out annually but we would like to think that our methodology provides a much better practice and makes us better stewards of the environment.
