organizations to promote a healthy planet.

Press Release Body = FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Easthampton, MA - June 2006

Treefrog Veneer, a supplier of real wood veneer laminates, has become a member of 1%
For The Planet (1% FTP), an alliance of companies that donate at least 1% of their
annual sales to environmental organizations worldwide.

"Contributing to the health and welfare of our planet makes good business sense to
us," says Treefrog Creative Director/VP Geoff Schaefer.

Treefrog Veneer, located in Easthampton, MA, contributes to environmental
organizations that work to protect treefrog habitats worldwide as well as
environmental organizations that work within Treefrog Veneer's regional watershed.

"Considering the complex environmental challenges we face, and the effects business
in general has on the environment, joining 1% For The Planet is a simple and
tangible way for Treefrog Veneer to be part of the solution," says Schaefer.

Member businesses of 1% For The Planet donate 1% of their annual sales revenue to
any of the hundreds of environmental organizations that have met 1% FTP's criteria.
These organizations have proven they are legitimate and effective forces working to
foster environmental health.

1% FTP certifies that its over 200 member companies have contributed at least 1% of
net revenues and provides the use of the 1% For The Planet logo on member's products
and materials.

Treefrog Veneer offers a complete selection of 35 real wood veneer laminates in
traditional and exotic straight grains, crowns, birdseyes and burls. It is ideal for
use in interior design, hospitality, retail, corporate, set design, entertainment
and furniture projects. The veneers are manufactured in Italy, a country long
heralded for
craftsmanship and, more recently, for environmental commitment, and distributed
throughout the United States under the Treefrog Veneer name. The veneers feature
composite wood technology, a process that is able to create the look and feel of
exotic tree species, without harvesting these oftentimes rare species.

Instead, Treefrog Veneer is produced through sustainable forestry, utilizing
SGS-certified plantation grown Italian Poplar, which guarantees it is an ecological
product, and West African Ayous, managed in a forestry plan to achieve the lowest
possible impact on the environment. The rights and welfare of local people are
respected as well.

Treefrog's facility in Easthampton, MA has instituted practices to minimize its
impact on the planet. Additionally, both manufacturing and administrative
departments strive to reduce, recycle & reuse materials on a daily basis.

1% For The Planet was launched in 2001 by Yvon Choinard, founder of Patagonia, Inc.,
a clothing manufacturer and retailer, and Craig Mathews, owner of Blue Ribbon Flies.
1% FTP is active in the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan.
