Sustainably Harvested Moss — Why It Matters
Protecting Our Forests While Sharing Nature’s Beauty
At Appalachian Moss N’ More, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our moss is sustainably harvested by hand from the Appalachian Mountains — with care, respect, and responsibility for the land that provides it.
When you choose sustainably harvested moss, you’re not only receiving beautiful, natural greenery — you’re also supporting eco-friendly practices that help preserve forest ecosystems for generations to come.
What Is Sustainable Moss Harvesting?
Sustainable moss harvesting means taking only what nature can replenish — and doing so in ways that protect the forest floor and surrounding habitats.
Here’s how we do it:
✅ Harvest by hand — no heavy machinery or damage to the forest
✅ Rotate harvesting areas — allowing moss to regrow naturally
✅ Leave a portion in place — promoting healthy moss populations
✅ Avoid sensitive habitats — respecting native plants & wildlife
✅ Follow eco-friendly best practices — rooted in generations of local knowledge
Why Sustainability Matters
Moss plays an important role in forest ecosystems:
-
Helps retain moisture in the soil
-
Filters and purifies air and water
-
Provides habitat for insects and small wildlife
-
Reduces erosion and supports healthy plant growth
Over-harvesting or damaging moss beds can upset this delicate balance. That’s why we are committed to harvesting our moss in a way that protects both the land and the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains.
