What We Do...

Clark Sustainable Resource Developments Ltd. (CSRD) is a private company, established in October 2005, and currently focused on harvesting underwater tropical timber resources in Ghana's Volta Lake, one of the world's largest hydro reservoirs.

Creation of the 8,600 sq km lake in 1964, involved flooding hundreds of square kilometers of valuable tropical timber such as Mahogany, Odum, Wawa, Kusia, Ceiba and Danta. Submerged forests not only retain their timber quality, they actually gain market appeal because they are a salvaged wood and do not require the cutting of living trees. Harvested timber from underwater sources can deliver a premium return in the marketplace.

CSRD management believes the Volta Lake concession has the potential to become one of the world's most valuable forestry resources.
