Managing Our Timberlands Responsibly Potlatch practices sustainable forestry on all of the company's 1.5 million acres of timberland. That means forest growth on Potlatch lands equals or exceeds harvest over time. Potlatch also follows all of the forest products industry's Sustainable Forestry Initiative SM principles and guidelines . Every acre the company harvests is replanted or regenerated with new forest growth. The company planted over 16 million seedlings on its own timberlands in during the 1999 planting season.
