Aacer practices responsible forest management and supports only green-minded suppliers. Some manufacturer's talk about buying only from responsibly managed forests, but they are one step removed from the actual management of the natural resource. We were green long before it was politically correct, and we will be green for generations to come. Aacer encourages tours to the timberlands. Come see for yourself!
