SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES
We harvest an average of 15 to 30 million board feet of timber annually in Oregon and Washington, yet we grow more volume than is cut each year. Through our sustainable forestry initiative, approximately 1,000 acres per year are treated for either reforestation or to improve the growth of young forests.We're proud of our commitment around sustained yield forestry, wildlife and natural resources protection, the development of genetically superior seeds, and an annual planting program that includes about 1,000 acres and 400,000 seedlings.
Fruit Growers Supply timberlands participates with local communities, indigenous peoples’, regional and national forest agencies to assist in the protection of our resources. Fruit Growers Supply is committed to a continual improvement in the sustainability of our forest lands.
We manage our forests for the sustainable production of wood products while ensuring abundant and healthy forests for future generations, and we have been doing this since 1907. We are committed to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) 2022 Standard.
