Visiting our Black Locust Lumber Mill

Yesterday, the CitiLog & Black Locust Lumber team took a trip to central Pennsylvania to visit our coworkers at our Black Locust Lumber mill. It was an amazing day with cool weather, a beautiful landscape, and delicious food!

USGBCNJ 10th Anniversary Gala

CitiLog's Green Groundbreaking Award

The CitiLog team attended the USGBCNJ 10th Anniversary Gala this past Thursday at Revel Resort & Casino. CitiLog was the winner of the Green Ground Breaking Award which honors companies that are on the cutting edge of sustainability and green building.

Our CitiLog Newark Sawmill was recognized for creating a true, zero-waste facility in New Jersey and generating green collar jobs that cannot be exported. Congratulations to all of this year's award winners, and thank you to the USGBCNJ for hosting such a great event!

Log Garden

We don't let anything go to waste! Even this rotted log, that would typically be dumped into a landfill, can be repurposed into a planter in just a few easy steps.

1. Scoop out the inside of the log with a small garden shovel to created a well for your plants
2. Fill in the log with desired amount of potting soil, depending on the size of the plant you plan on using
3. For smaller logs with shallow wells, succulents are a good option because they do not require as much water or soil as other plants. For logs with deeper wells, add extra soil and plant flowers such as Black Eyed Susans (our favorite at CitiLog!)
4. Water!
