Shaw donates lumber for restoration project

Written by

Shaw Industries recently donated more than 2,700 board feet of lumber to The Land Trust for the Little Tennessee that will be used to help restore a historic farmstead on LTLT’s Tessentee Bottomland Preserve property in Otto.

The donation is the second given to LTLT in a two-year period from Shaw. The first round of lumber was used to restore the decking for a new front porch; the most recent batch will be used to restore the battens on the 100-plus year old farmhouse.

LTLT has also received donations from Lowe’s Home Improvement, Lewis Penland, and countless hours of time from volunteers assisting with labor.
