UVA Sawmilling began with a simple question: What could become of a historic tree when it falls?

Instead of letting campus timber become mulch, we salvage fallen or managed trees from UVA’s Grounds and Charlottesville, and turn them into useful material and retail products. At our core, we are keepers of their carbon and stewards of their stories—transforming local wood waste into a circular material economy through hands-on education, research, and craft.
