California Cedar Products Company (CCPC) has launched its redesigned and re-branded consumer website under the Pencils.com brand at www.pencils.com.

Pencils.com, formerly known as “The Incense Cedari Institute - Pencil Pages”, was originally established in 1995 to provide educational information to teachers, students and parents about the production of wood-cased pencils and as a means of communicating the important message of utilizing well managed renewable forest resources. The website supplemented other learning materials distributed by the Incense-cedar Institute, including a well received Teacher Education kit titled “The Story of Pencils: Technology & Tradition”. For several years the Institute also held an annual Pencil Doodle Contest.
