From the Swamp. For our Species.

What started as a personal collection quickly became a business for Nate when he learned how much everyone loved his "driftwood art". Not to be confused with wood that washes up on beaches, Florida Swampwood is found on our private swamp land.

Although some "reclaim” wood, we believe it was never ours to begin with. We carefully choose a small selection of the naturally dead and fallen wood. Just as the ecosystem of our swamp supports an intricate web of life, so does the Florida Wildlife Corridor, which we support with each piece of wood sold.

Cypress with Purpose

We donate 5% of each sale to "Path of the Panther", a non-profit working in collaboration with the National Geographic Society, to reveal the land protection and wildlife crossings needed to save a future for wild Florida where both people and wildlife can thrive.
