Icelandic Farm Goes Green
image fpo

Leading breeder Katrin Sheehan has selected environmentally friendly fencing for her 245-acre Creekside Farm, a world-class Icelandic Horse farm in Rutledge, Ga. Sheehan is the breeding chairman for the United States Icelandic Horse Congress (www.icelandics.org). She chose LifeTime Lumber for her pastures, paddocks, and riding arenas.

Manufactured by LifeTime Composites LLC, the lumber is a durable, sustainable, low-maintenance fencing material containing up to 65 percent post-consumer material composed of recycled fly ash, a byproduct from electric utility plants. This lumber conforms to the recycled-content criteria under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System. LEED (www.usgbc.org/LEED) is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high-performance green buildings. For more information on LifeTime Lumber, call (760) 634-6860, or visit www.ltlumber.com.
