Description

 

Bois Grocery Store

The Wood Store is a local wood service offering retail sales at reduced prices

As an anti-waste alternative, the wood sold at the store consists of scraps and non-conforming pieces generated by sawmills, which are then repurposed and sorted by the store staff for local customers.

Part of the store operates on a pay-what-you-can basis, while another section is priced according to:

  • Wood Type
  • The section
  • Length

Objective

To work together locally and in practical ways to support the sustainability of living, diverse forest ecosystems and traditional woodworking.

How?

By establishing a local, community-based timber and forestry sector driven by a commitment to sustainable management that respects the forest heritage of the Périgord region.

Contribute to the preservation of living and diverse Périgord forests:

 
  • Promote a 100% local supply model based on mixed continuous-canopy silviculture (SMCC)*.
  • Coordinate a collective of associations integrated into a network of professionals in the alternative wood-forest sector.
  • Demonstrate to forest owners the benefits of sustainable management of their plots through consulting and pilot projects.
  • Conduct public awareness campaigns on alternative silvicultural practices and the importance of gentle forest management.
