We work with local communities to identify strategic economic development opportunities near and around our land holdings. This allows us to realize the full potential value of our land in a win-win relationship with our communities.
We manage the vast majority of our lands as working forests – considering just a small portion of our holdings for development. If we identify land as a potential development project, we work to ensure the planning process is thorough and meets the expectations of a wide range of stakeholders.
We do this through collaborative, public-private dialogue. This process promotes understanding of the assets, needs and preferences of all participants. It’s a means to help define the best way to reach mutual economic opportunity and benefit.
