WholeTrees Structures is a 15-year old company, a certified B Corp, and WBE (Woman-Owned Business Enterprise). We integrate over two decades of custom architecture and construction with present-day material science research to innovate standardized round timber structural systems. Our company has created the tools and technologies to bring low-value trees resulting from sustainable forestry to commercial construction markets.
At WholeTrees, we embrace Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and are committed to building our growing team with a variety of backgrounds, skills and views. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be. Our commitment to these values is unwavering across our work and hiring practices.
WholeTrees was founded on its 134-acre forest near La Crosse, WI and is now headquartered in Madison, WI. We foster a company culture based in the belief that excellence comes from a cocktail of inquiry, accountability, passion, authenticity, connection, laughter and self-reflection amongst our forests.
Our vision is to provide durable, affordable, and sustainable structural systems that restore forests and communities. By pioneering this vibrant market, we build incentive to continue forest stewardship and scale a sustainable construction material. WholeTrees works to instill a love for nature, promote conservancy and restore a sense of awe and delight that supports woodland economies.
