ZEAL Presented with Award for Use of Colorado Beetlekill Wood

ZEAL Optics was recently honored with an award for our ecological awareness and use of Beetlekill wood by Choose Outdoors. Beetle infestation has devastated millions of acres of Colorado forests, and ZEAL has found a way to use this wood that would otherwise go to waste. From our headquarters in Boulder, Colorado to our new displays in stores all over the globe, you will notice that we are actively incorporating the use of this wood into all facets of the brand.
