At Awala, our historic, high quality, and undeniably unique lumber is the byproduct of three centuries of international logging in the Nicaraguan interior. From the late 1500s until approximately 1890, huge swaths of virgin forest were felled and floated to the Caribbean coast for further transport to Spain, Portugal, Britain, and the United States. Many of the densest logs – often those of the highest quality – didn’t complete the journey to the sea and sank in inland streams where they found protection from time in an anoxic layer of mud.
For the last seven years, Awala and our local partners have worked closely with INAFOR and the indigenous Miskito Tribe to locate, salvage, and properly process these beautiful logs into lumber and wood products for the most discerning home builders, interior designers, architects, and furniture craftsmen. One hundred percent of our products come from the rivers and lagoons of the RAAN. We operate an environmentally friendly, wholly sustainable, completely reclaimed lumber operation without taking even one live tree.
But we don’t stop there. At Awala, we believe the societal impact of our operation to be as – if not more – important than our dedication to the environment.
We look forward to making you and your company an important part of Awala’s journey to create a more sustainable and socially valuable future.
