Bennett Lumber is committed to promote and conserve Forests with Exceptional Conservation Value, defined as critically imperiled and imperiled species and ecological communities, within our wood and fiber sourcing area.  Using the tools found at https://explorer.natureserve.org/pro/Welcome,  we have identified species of concern that we encourage landowners, loggers, and managers to watch for and protect if they are found.  We require compliance with BMP's associated with stream and river protection as many of these species have riparian habitats.  We also encourage landowners of native palouse prairie habitat to protect and conserve those areas.

For specific regional information about species of concern, visit the FECV resources page to view the fact sheets for your particular region.

Visit the Palouse Land Trust website for more information about preserving and protecting palouse prairie habitat.

If you own land or log land in Washington, visit the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife web map to check for critical species.
