adopting land stewardship ethics that assure forests in this area remain healthy and continue to provide wood products, wildlife habitat, biological diversity, clean water, and recreational opportunities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Maintaining and enhancing ecosystem health is the primary focus of Bennett Lumber&#8217;s forest management efforts.\u00a0 Healthy forests provide habitat for fish and wildlife as well as timber for our mills.\u00a0 Bennett Lumber&#8217;s commitment to sustainable practices is an everyday effort.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img

Bennett foresters manage with a light touch, removing unhealthy trees and planning for the needs of future forests.\u00a0 Most harvests are done to remove diseased and feeble trees to improve forest health.\u00a0 All harvest prescriptions favor leaving healthy native tree species.\u00a0 Our foresters use a variety of silvicultural prescriptions to enhance\u00a0biological diversity, protect water quality, maintain wildlife habitat, and preserve visual quality.<\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/blpi.com\/index.php\/sustainability\/landowner-resources\/\" target=\"_self\">Landowner
