We have joined forces with the Working for Water Programme, an initiative of the Western Cape Government that seeks to tackle the issue of alien invasive trees and their destruction of local environments and water reserves.
Just over the past 5 years, the WfW team has already cleared up 500 hectares of alien vegetation and has freed up 1.9 billion litres of water per year! It has also sparked the creation of more than 230 000 jobs.
We, at Homewood, aim to sustain this excellent initiative by purchasing alien invasive biomass from it and turning it into one-of-a-kind, artisanal furniture pieces. It is from this biomass that our Amanzi Conscious Collection stems. By using alien invasive wood to handcraft our eco furniture, we get to give back to the earth by freeing up local waterways, and give back to people by creating both short-term and long-term employment opportunities.
You can choose to have your furniture made the conscious way and have any of our ranges, indoor furniture, outdoor furniture or custom pieces made from local alien invasive timbers.
