Community Involvement

Michigan Reclaimed Barns and Lumber is a family owned and operated business. So, it's safe to say that family is extremely important to us. Because of that, we strive to give back to our community and local families.

We are excited to share some more information about the groups and organizations we've worked with, as well as the other things we do to.

Let's Talk About the Environment


No matter what you believe, it is important to treat this beautiful world we live in with love and care. So, we have been sponsoring a part of the freeway in Ann Arbor. Not just to put our name on a sign, but because it's a stretch of land we get to clean up and work to keep trash-free.

You've likely seen an Adopt-A-Highway" sign as you've been driving along on the highway (almost every state has this program!)

In Michigan, you can adopt both sides of a section of highway for at least two years and you're responsible for cleaning up the side of the road within that section.

According to the MDOT website, over 6,400 miles of Michigan highways have been adopted and, since 1990, over a million bags of trash have been collected. Not too shabby, right? It is a very cool program to be a part of!

You can find our stretch of highway located HERE.

If you're ever interested in joining us on one of our volunteer clean up's, please reach out! We would love to have you join the Michigan Reclaimed Barns and Lumber team on our next excursion out.

Wolverine Wrestling Club

Growing up, Michigan Reclaimed Barns and Lumber owner, Jim, was very involved in wrestling. In fact, he received an athletic scholarship to Michigan State University, where he was a NCAA Division I All-American.

Jim talks about how wrestling saved his life. It kept him in the gym and in school, and mostly out of trouble!

He wants to give that same structure and support for other kids. So when he started a local wrestling club, he made sure it was accessible to everyone- he did not want anyone to be prevented from joining because of financial reasons.

Sure, he dedicates his time to the team. But he also donates profits from Michigan Reclaimed Barns and Lumber to the team- for gear, gym rentals, etc.

Plus, Michigan Reclaimed Barns and Lumber have sponsored sports teams at the local middle and high schools with the same objective, to make sports accessible to everyone.
