What are we doing to the forests of Honduras? Does anyone know?

Honduras Pine Stakes
Any idea as to what these stakes are treated with?
 
My understanding is that Honduran Pine tomato stakes have natural preservatives and don't need treatment. That may be why they can't tell you what they're treated with. We've used them for over 10 years and they are still strong, and very hard wood. But better to be safe and fine good verification to maintain your organic certification.
