Environmental Mission

Goodwin's Environmental Mission

We do more than reclaim antique heart pine and heart cypress logs to produce exceptional hardwood flooring that will last many more generations. The Goodwin Heart Pine team voluntarily makes numerous efforts to protect the environment whenever possible. Our earth-friendly actions include:

  • Rescuing our guard dogs from an area Akita rescue society. Toshiba, Zeus and Tamiko receive the best of care including acupuncture and swimming therapy.
  • Creatively using remnants from wood products to ensure there is no waste. This recycling includes making the spacers we used in packaging and sending sawdust to local horse farms for fresh stalls. Local woodworkers take scraps for art projects such as wood boxes, many which we purchase as gifts for clients. Our office manager even uses shavings to produce our handmade thank you cards.
  • Worked closely with Florida officials to establish a state licensing program for divers who pull logs from rivers. This ensures the river environment is not damaged during log recovery.
  • Built a two-acre log pond to keep our river-recovered® logs submerged so that the logs remain in pristine condition and no damage occurs to the log exterior resulting in waste. We even stock our ponds with Gambusia minnows, mosquito larvae eating fish, to provide natural pest control.
  • Plant native plants, which require less watering, throughout the X acres of our manufacturing facility. Best of all, we plant longleaf heart pine and bald cypress both on Goodwin property and public lands.
  • We are involved with numerous community environmental groups including the Local Forestry Task Force and the Old Florida Heritage Highway Council.
  • Work with national groups such as the Longleaf Alliance, Association for the Restoration of Longleaf Pine, U.S. Green Building Council, Reclaimed Wood Council and other ‘green’ organizations.
  • Provide our employees with drinking water from a high-tech water filtering system that removes contaminants and bacteria but not minerals.
