Heartwood Resources

About Heartwood ReSources Established in October 2001 to enhance the livability of our greater Douglas County, Heartwood provides affordable building materials, jobs and job training, public education on environmental stewardship, and promotes the retention of affordable housing. Heartwood is a nonprofit deconstruction and salvage company, and is seen by the community as a leader in the use and re-use of building materials. The deconstruction of homes, barns, and buildings and the salvage of salable wood and many other home improvement materials is reducing the impact on the landfill. Reselling used lumber and materials also provides affordable lumber and materials for low-income households who wish to build, repair, or renovate their homes. Heartwood's activities have enabled the creation of jobs, that are primarily focused toward TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) beneficiaries and the formerly incarcerated.
