Exciting news! This spring, SPI planted our 300 millionth seedling on our company’s timberland. This achievement has been decades in the making, reflecting our commitment to sustainable forest management and ensuring we have forests not just for today, but for generations to come. Replanting our forests is foundational to sustainable forest management, with every tree planted supporting the forest ecosystem, wildlife, clean water and air, while also providing a reliable source of logs for the sawmills and the sustainable products they manufacture.
“I wouldn’t have imagined 75 years ago when we started with no land and one very small sawmill that I would see the day we planted 300 million trees," said SPI founder Red Emmerson. “This is a legacy I am proud of and I am proud of our team that made this possible.”
