Potlatch supports continuing education of professional loggers to assure continuous improvement in harvesting practices. The health and sustainability of industrial forests in large part depends upon the professionalism of our industry's loggers. Potlatch reforests every acre we harvest either through replanting or natural regeneration, depending on site conditions and management objectives. Potlatch planted over 27.5 million seedlings in 2000. Since 1985, the company has planted over 106.5 million trees.
Potlatch supports and conducts research in resource management.
In addition to research aimed at producing healthier forests, Potlatch engages in studies of water quality, wildlife populations, forest productivity, tree growth and changes in the forest over time. Potlatch is committed to improving public understanding of forestry and forest management through tours, educational programs, school and community presentations. All rights reserved.
