The company has developed an approved Habitat 

 Conservation Plan for the Spotted Owl. The U.S. Forest 

 Service is still mired in lawsuits. The company has just 

 developed a protection plan for the Marbled Murrelets. 

 The Forest Service hasn't even considered this step yet. 



In the 1920 's Pacific Lumber developed a 

 reforestation nursery. 



Later, some 30 years ago the company developed fish 

 rearing ponds and dedicated large sums to fish and 

 wildlife development and protection. The company plants 

 many thousands of salmon and steelhead each season. This 

 year the north coast rivers had a banner year with a ten 

 fold increase of returning salmon and steelhead. 



Each year they reforest every acre that is 

 harvested. 



The location of the ownership, gentle topography, 

 the deep productive soils, temperate climate, good road 

 system and years of excellent stewardship, collectively 

 makes this forest ownership twice as productive as the 

 average forested acre in California. 



Pacific Lumber Company is respected for their 

 environmental record and commitment to community, donating 

 over $100,000 per year to charities. The company is 

 dedicated to producing wildlife, protecting habitat, 

 growing trees for our children and providing jobs and 

 products we demand at the lumberyard and book store.
