A healthy forest that has been thinned and the waste wood utilized.
Wood waste left to rot or be burned after a forest was thinned.
Burning slash adds to air pollution and wastes valuable timber resources.
We use this otherwise wasted material to produce premium shavings.
WHY WOOD SHAVINGS?

Wood shavings are a safe, chemical free, biodegradable bedding for all animals-from the largest of barnyard animals to the smallest of household pets. Big Sky Shavings bedding products are dust free, splinter free, and super absorbent for the health of your pet. They will not cause respiratory problems. Pine shavings are environmentally friendly. Plus pine shavings come with their own natural pine scent, alleviating the need for chemical air fresheners!

Using wood shavings benefits the environment by helping to keep forests healthy. Keeping forests healthy reduces fire and bug problems, helps recharge water tables, protects streams and rivers, provides more grazing for both domestic and wild animals, and maintains a diversity of plant and animal life. As a natural result from forest management, landowners receive income from forest products-if markets exist for those products.

Markets are usually available for saw timber and post and poles, but typically lower valued products only suitable for firewood or pulpwood are being left in slash piles to be burned, adding to air pollution, or left to occupy valuable grazing acres while the pile rots. Stands that have stems too small for saw timber receive no thinning and present an increased fire hazard. BIG SKY SHAVINGS, LLC utilizes this otherwise wasted material to produce PREMIUM, DUST FREE, BIODEGRADABLE pine shavings.
