Supporting Working Forests
Our feedstock comes from working forests that are actively managed to generate revenue from multiple sources, including sustainably produced timber and other ecosystem services, and thus are not converted to other land uses such as urbanization. Sustainable forest management is critical to prevent forest conversion to non-forest uses, according to the world’s leading authority on climate science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In addition to sustainable timber production, working forest revenue sources may include recreation and hunting fees, as well as environmental initiatives such as payments for carbon sequestration, endangered species habitats, and/or water quality.
