From forest to floor: the multi-generational journey of sustainable oak
In short: This video follows Kevin O’Connor into western Pennsylvania to trace the production of oak flooring. Witness how a family-run business manages the entire process from local forest harvesting to the sawmill and finally to the flooring plant.
The video explores the lifecycle of sustainable wood flooring through the lens of the Hickman family in Pennsylvania. This family has practiced sustainable tree cutting in their local forests for four generations. By following the material from the forest to the sawmill and through to the flooring plant, the segment illustrates the complex steps required to transform raw timber into finished home surfaces.
