Natural wood is right for the nature-center aspect of the Eugene Young Environmental Center, but if it can also be in some sense "recycled" wood, that's right for the environmental aspect. Here the wood interior ceiling is being installed on 23 October. The visible grain shows off the natural material, and the source is not new trees cut for lumber but wood salvaged when diseased or damaged street trees in other towns were removed--wood that would otherwise have gone to landfills.
