SFI Certified Lumber:

Wherever possible, lumber from Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI) certified sources was used. SFI is a timber industry sponsored program, one of several now active in the marketplace. Wood harvested from forests that have been certified as using sustainable forestry practices helps balance forest ecosystems, preserves healthy watersheds and good water quality. www.certifiedwood.com

Port Blakely Companies holds a strong interest in regenerating forestland, recognizing long before others that the day would come when lumber would be in short supply. Intensive research and innovation by company leaders resulted in effective replanting of forests left bare by the logging activities of others. In 2003 all forestlands operated by Port Blakely received certification under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative Standard for the American Forest and Paper Association.

Over 1,700,000 trees are planted every day by SFI program participants
