At Sierra Pacific, they believe that healthy trees, cool clean water and enduring wildlife habitat are the natural result of sound forest management practices. Their forest harvesting philosophy is based on extensive scientific research. Sierra Pacific has undertaken exhaustive planning to guarantee that they meet or exceed the environmental protection standards of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative^® (SFI) and forestry regulations in California and Washington - the highest standards in the world.

With Professional Foresters and Wildlife Biologists managing their lands on a "sustained yield" basis, Sierra Pacific plants more trees and increasingly grows more wood than is harvested every year and ensures protection of wildlife habitat, watercourses and plant life. This increase in sustainable yield will level off about 70 years from today and remain stable at those levels for the foreseeable future.

Sierra Pacific is an industry leader in technological advances. They use state of the art computerized scanning equipment to assure they're are getting the highest yields from the raw materials. Whether in their sawmills or millwork plants, innovative equipment run by highly-skilled operators ensures they'll utilize all available wood fiber.
