BOYNTON BEACH, FL, April 05, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Southern Cross Building Products announced today that it will provide an ongoing donation program to Save A Forest, a registered 501(C)3 Charitable Corporation. Save A Forest uses donations to preserve old growth forest and to facilitate reforestation in areas that have been damaged by clear-cutting.

Southern Cross is the manufacturer of Gripper Edge tack strip, the first tack strip in North America to receive a third party verification that all the raw material plywood comes from sustainable plantations. Since the introduction of this environmentally responsible brand, more than 200,000,000 (two hundred million) lineal feet of Gripper Edge tack strip has been sold in North America. The CEO of Southern Cross, Rodrigo Vera of Delray Beach, Florida, committed $1.00 to Save A Forest for every 10 boxes of Gripper Edge sold, beginning immediately.

Vera stated, "Our legacy to our children and future generations depends on making an effort now to preserve the precious natural resources of the planet. Everyone at Southern Cross is committed to our company vision of providing value to our customers with environmentally sustainable products. Making this pledge to Save A Forest is a natural outgrowth of that commitment.
