CARLISLE, Pa., June 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Carlisle
TyrFil (www.CarlisleTyrFil.com) announced today its latest
commitment to support two new tree reforestation projects to help
preserve America's most endangered natural forest regions. In
collaboration with American Forests, the world's oldest conservancy
and TyrFil's long-time partner in this effort, the company will
plant seedlings to help repopulate forest territory in Virginia and Arkansas. Since 1971, TyrFil has been leading
the industry with its production of environmentally friendly
alternatives to keep industrial Off-the-Road (OTR) tires
operational and free from flats on the job. Also essential to the
company's leadership role in the industry has been its enduring
commitment to give back to our planet—through advanced "green"
technology and sustainable products.
The current Carlisle TyrFil and American Forests reforestation
plans in Virginia and
Arkansas are part of TyrFil's
"One Tote, One Tree" philanthropic program. One Tote, One
Tree funds the supply, planting, and nurturing of seedlings
to expand, rejuvenate, and protect forest lands across the
U.S. The program is part of Carlisle TyrFil's ongoing
assistance effort, along with its OEM and dealer network, which
allocates one seedling toward the reforestation program for every
'tote' of TyrFil flatproofing product purchased.
The effort in Virginia will
support the Jefferson National Forest and the George Washington
National Forest areas. These beautiful forests are home to multiple
designated wilderness territories and are rich in scenic vistas,
beautiful foliage, a colorful history, and recreational
opportunities. To help preserve and reforest this region, the
campaign will help specifically to facilitate the replanting of red
spruce trees.
The effort in Arkansas will
support a 1.8 million-acre reserve that is part of the Ouachita
National Forest. A once "picture perfect" park-like region, this
area had gradually been ravaged by fire devastation and later fire
suppression efforts, as well as logging activities going back to
the early 19th century. Collectively, these events had
destroyed the region's natural eco-system—depleting underbrush and
preventing proper dense tree regrowth. But a decades-long
initiative is bringing back 250,000 acres of shortleaf pine in the
Ouachita National Forest, pairing tree planting with other
restoration tactics like thinning dense stands, replacing loblolly
pine plantations, and setting controlled burns to mimic natural
fire. Carlisle's One Tote, One
Tree effort will further help to rejuvenate one of the most
beautiful regions of mid-America—and also aid in creating a better
natural habitat for treasured wildlife such as the
Red-cockaded woodpecker, bald eagles, and the Louisiana black bear.
"Carlisle TyrFil continues to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with
American Forests to help repopulate severely endangered forest
territories across the U.S.," said Carlisle TyrFil Vice President
of Global Sales, Matt Pearson.
"We're thrilled that our valued dealer and OEM network has been
able to join us in this effort to provide a robust partnership and
ongoing support. As a brand, TyrFil is proud, on the technology
side, to enhance sustainability through production of our
eco-friendly polyurethane tire fill and recycling technology—while
also supporting social campaigns such as One Tote, One
Tree, which has helped to replenish America's natural
terrains for more than a decade."
About Carlisle TyrFil
Carlisle TyrFil is a brand of Carlisle Construction Materials, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Carlisle Companies (NYSE: CSL). TyrFil
flatproofing, also known as "foam fill," can be pumped into
Off-the-Road (OTR) pneumatic tires to replace air with a resilient,
environmentally preferred, elastomer core that eliminates dangerous
flat tires in commercial and industrial heavy equipment vehicles.
TyrFil transfers significantly less G-force, resulting in a
smoother, safer ride compared to solid aperture tires. Excessive
G-force transmission, commonly known in the industry as Solid
Shock, can produce premature damage to heavy equipment vehicles and
injury to the operator. With TyrFil flatproofing, "We Keep the
World Rolling." For more information on Carlisle TyrFil's
