Forestry Resources

Our program supports climate‑smart forestry that strengthens long‑term carbon storage, enhances wildlife habitat, and builds resilient, biodiverse forests. The Improved Forest Management (IFM) approach emphasizes mixed‑age stand structure, watershed protection, sensitive habitat stewardship, and the use of durable wood products that extend carbon benefits. Our professional foresters work with landowners to ensure management plans and harvest prescriptions align with these principles and deliver climate‑smart outcomes.
