Owns and cuts timberland in western Washington. In the 1980s, Trillium bought 3,000 acres on southern Whidbey Island, Washington, from Georgia-Pacific. Overcutting by Golden Spring, TAT, Trillium and others led to the Sustainable Forestry Roundtable mediation process between environmentalists, the timber industry, and Washington State, and to the 1992 adoption of tighter restrictions by the Washington State Forest Practices Board. In November 1990, Trillium signed a letter of intent to buy several hundred parcels of land in WA, MT, CO, NE, ND, SD, and WY from Burlington Northern Railroad's Glacier Park real estate company.
