White River receives certification

White River, a manufacturer of embellished hardwood moldings and architectural woodcarvings, announced its achievement of the Forest Stewardship Council's Chain of Custody Certification. For the past 18 months, White River has been researching the optimal plan for purchasing lumber from certified, wellmanaged forests for its local manufacture of hardwood moldings.

The Chain of Custody Certification is granted by Scientific Certification Systems, an independent third party, which is accredited by the stewardship council. This certification verifies that lumber from certified forests is identified, marked and recognized as it passes through a chain of custodians or handlers from the forest to the consumer.

White River was founded by Bruce and Joan Johnson in the mid- ' 70 s. Based in Fayetteville, White River offers more than 1, 500 decorative embellishments in hardwoods including moldings, corbels, on lays, cabinet parts, range hoods, fireplace mantels and a line of resin products for curved applications.
