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.

CitiLog Team Member Applying a Tung Oil Finish Onto The New Benches!

We are pleased to announce the completion of CitiLog’s first value added special project. CitiLog manufactured 11 log seating benches for The Brayton School in Summit, New Jersey. The trees had come down on their site during the summer of 2011. Instead of having them turned into firewood, mulch or dumped into a landfill, The Brayton School took a sustainable approach and had the logs upcycled into benches for the student body. All of the bark was removed by hand, sanded smooth, and finished with three layers of tung oil. This oil is an all-natural product and is non-toxic. The Brayton School is located only 12 miles from our Newark facility.
