Duke Farms

CitiLog president and founder, Maria and Stubby Warmbold, had a wonderful visit to Duke Farms recently to discuss future collaborations and get a tour of their amazing facility. Here are Stubby and Kathy Salisbury, Duke Farms' Team Leader for Education, with one of their electric cars! Duke Farms is a beautiful place in Hillsborough, New Jersey that we greatly encourage everyone to explore, especially with beautiful spring weather approaching!

A very sunny and productive Friday!

Friday was a great day at the sawmill. Everyone was busy, and the sun was out as an added bonus. We wish the warm weather lasted a few days longer. Here are some wonderful pictures we wanted to share!

Survived Snow Storm Nemo!

We are very happy that snow storm Nemo has passed- even though we got hit with quite a bit of snow, this is considered nothing compared to folks further north who got over 2'! As you know, we love pictures of our logs covered in snow- they look so beautiful, so here is another one to check out! Some CitiLog workers put in a few hours on Saturday in order to clear the paths of snow so log trucks can still access our sawmill to drop off logs.

Good thing most of our machinery, such as the main saw, is protected by our hoop structure so we are still able to saw. This great picture was taken by Bryce, CitiLog Employee. An upcycled tree sawn into industrial board- fresh off of the saw!

A Visit from Prudential

Today, we were lucky enough to have Cindy Hu from Prudential visit the Newark sawmill and see the saw running! This is a very exciting and pivotal event in CitiLog's journey of upcycling urban logs.

Upcycled Urban Wood Waste Transformed into New Garden Beds

New Garden Beds at Fountain Park, Secaucus, NJ

Locally harvested urban hardwood was upcycled and transformed into rustic garden beds at Secaucus, New Jersey's Fountain Park. The upcycled urban garden beds will not only act as a decorative element within the park, but will also serve as an educational model within the community to represent the importance of upcycling and sustainable practices.

Thank you to the Town of Secaucus and Mayor Gonnelli for supporting our efforts in upcycling urban trees!
