The timbers are harvested locally from standing dead trees
and crafted
into structural elements at the Whimpy Wolf shop. Other
materials for the custom homes they
build are sourced locally whenever possible or salvaged when
appropriate.
Further commitment to the environment
is demonstrated in the
company’s use of biofuels in their vehicles and purchasing
wind credits to
offset their electrical usage. For more information, visit www.whimpywolf.com
