Intricate and responsible productions
Since 2004 Panama Teak Forestry has been growing and building a synergistic group of interrelated companies, Wooderra has become the natural wood products brand and distributions channel for this group.
As an efficiently managed company, Panama Teak Forestry manages its operation in some of the safest, well-performing tropical timber plantations and timber concessions with more than 7,000 acres of timber resources.
As a responsible and thorough company, Panama Teak Forestry manages the timber assets and growing process throughout the full cycle of production, taking care to respect the optimum harvest date, and we not harvest and/or sell logs prematurely, unlike some other timber companies.
Using their experience in wood plantations, our managers choose a suitable parcel of land and then make sure all the essential steps are executed properly. This involves preparing the soil; planting and managing the trees and the harvest stage of the mature timber. Wooderra offers an impressive selection of types of wood that promise that satisfy any taste: Teak, Almendro, Zorro, Espave, Amargo Amargo, Amarillo, Quira/ Kira, Balsamo, and Zapatero.
Panama Teak Forestry Timber resource management goes beyond the balance sheet as it helps preserve the world's tropical forests in the spirit of ecological sustainability, which is one of our core values.
Alongside with bringing sustainably managed solid wood products to our customers, Wooderra also distributes noble wood products as our manufacturer Panama Teak Forestry has access to salvaged woods from Lake Bayano in Panama and is able to extract them using eco-conscious and innovative practices.
We usually refer to them as " sunken treasures of Panama" as the rare woods found in Lake Bayano are valued for its high quality and exquisite beauty. Prior to being a man made creation, Lake Bayano used to be a massive standing tropical forest with valleys and hills.
The sinking of millions of broad feet of tropical hardwoods result in their virtues. Being under water does not kill them but rather makes them stronger than before. Indeed, the extended stay in water boosts the rare wood's resilience, as the majority of resin has leaked out. The fiber of the trees also stay in exceptional conditions.
What's more, no one knows the area better than its locals. This is why Wooderra collaborates with the Emberá people on Lake Bayano. They are one of the two most well-known communities sharing the lake.
Seizing the opportunity, Wooderra knows that it would be a waste to not explore and recover the salvaged woods on Lake Bayano. Our extraction of these precious wood helps reduce the demand of timber resources on land and methane emissions. It is interesting to note that taking the wood out of lakes also benefits the lake as it raises the capacity for water storage.
Wooderra distributes solid wood products that are directly manufactured by our affiliated companies, under the umbrella of Timber Resource Management. We are their official brand and branch of distribution. Made of several diverse lumber and forestry companies, Timber Resource Management consists of talented directors who collectively have decades of experience in the timber and milling industry.
