Stimson Lumber Company owns and manages approximately 400,000 acres of forest land in the Western United States. Our forest land is one of the company’s most valuable assets. A steady flow of raw materials from our own company lands allows us the flexibility to run our manufacturing facilities in the most efficient manner possible.

But forests are about more than just a supply of raw materials. At Stimson Lumber Company, forestry is about more than producing logs for the mills. Among many different things to many different people, forests are also home to a tremendous variety of wildlife, producers of clean drinking water, and places for recreation.

To provide these additional benefits through time, along with a steady supply of raw materials, is the essence of true sustainable forestry. In order to help us implement sustainable forestry, Stimson Lumber Company developed its own set of Forestry Principles to guide our day to day forest management operations.

In addition, Stimson Lumber Company is part of the American Forest and Paper Association. As a condition of membership, all member companies have agreed to implement the Sustainable Forestry Initiative®. This is a comprehensive package that forest products companies use to implement all of the facets of sustainable forestry.

Finally, each state in which we operate has its own unique environment, its own educational institutions, and its own associations to help promote sound forest practices.
