HK Timberbank is the tree sampling and upcycling partner of Timber Research & Education Foundation (TREF). In support of TREF’s local tree research efforts, our team works with arborists to conduct scientific survey and sampling and handle logistics during tree felling operations. HK Timberbank subsequently upcycles the felled trees involved in TREF’s research.
Moreover, HK Timberbank provides wood processing and carpentry equipment for researchers at TREF to handle wood samples for laboratory testing.
