Sustained forests; sustained profits
Credo
The credo is the code of conduct that landowners and citizens can expect from staff working with all aspects of the Lasting Forests. It attempts to express, even in a limited way, what they stand for and believe in, and how they operate and address public, client, and personal concerns.
The credo is under development.
Operations
Seeking longterm sustained profits from the land requires retaining and building its productivity as well as its many benefits for diverse potential users of private lands. To this end, generalizing, the staff tends to develop highly-related programs that include:
- encouraging long pine rotations
- making site-specific timber production prescriptions
- preserving and enhancing visual quality
- reducing water-borne road sediments
- diversifying logging techniques
- using relevant information about surrounding areas
- avoiding losses in numbers of animal and plant species
- protecting soil productivity
- protecting included wetlands
- encouraging mixed tree species and mixed product production
- enhnacing wild plant and animal populations
- reducing waste of all kinds
- engaging in many types of energy conservation
- adding value to products, opportunities, and services of the land
