Our forest stewardship commitments include conserving wildlife species and their habitats. Collaborating with conservation organizations on biodiversity management is a cornerstone of our biodiversity conservation. We also invest in and utilize research to improve biodiversity conservation and environmental protection. In this discussion with Kit Hart, Director Planning, Carbon, and Environment, we discuss how we support the wide breadth of species that utilize our sustainably managed forests to forage, reproduce and thrive. Active forest management is a valuable tool for creating and maintaining a wide range of biodiversity benefits, enabling forests to stay healthy and productive. Across a landscape, a mosaic of forest ages from recently harvested to older forests can be maintained – these forests in turn support long-term viability of wildlife species, plants, and biodiversity. This is the third podcast in our Impacts podcast series, which focuses on how we execute our mission through the lens of our four Corporate Responsibility pillars: Forest, Planet, People, and Performance.
Wildlife conservation, climate mitigation, community recreation and production of goods from the forest define Moro Big Pine. This magnificent 16,000-acre forest is protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement that prevents development. Forestry and prescribed burning are implemented to enhance wildlife habitat including the federally protected red-cockaded woodpecker. Forest carbon stocks are managed to increase carbon storage in trees and reduce atmospheric C02. It's open to the public - come see for yourself.
Maintenance Team Members at our St. Maries, Idaho, plywood mill wanted a faster, safer way to feed panels into the mill’s vertical hot-press chargers. Team Members responded by designing a machine that automatically feeds the panels. What started as one prototype has now grown to two machines and has impressed vendors and other mill operators. This cutting-edge thinking at PotlatchDeltic’s St. Maries’ plywood mill has been recognized through an Innovation in Safety Award by the APA – The Engineered Wood Association.
