Midwest Products' Balsa is grown on plantations in South America, not harvested from the rainforest. These plantations are established in fields previously used for agriculture. The balsa comes from new growth trees. Seedlings are continuously cultivated and germinated in nurseries, then planted on the plantations. Parts of these plantations are left to nature to conserve the natural habitat of many animal species.
