Stimson Lumber Company Application of SFI Objective 15 Consult State Forests Assessments for Priority Areas— A tool for promoting business objectives & retaining public permission to manage our lands Consult SLC Forest Principles & Guidelines Company Actions Resources Division Marketing Division Fee Lands Procurement

Consult the State Wildlife Conservation Strategy-- Stimson Lumber Company’s Approach for Investing in Wildlife Conservation Consult the State Wildlife Conservation Strategy-- A tool for forest land management Identify ecological regions & species of concern Identify habitat needs (Consult the Wildlife Strategy, Natural Heritage Program & Other Data) Consult Company Principles & Guidelines Fee Lands Procurement Timber sale plans & contracts Information to log suppliers Regulatory requirements Voluntary actions

Guidelines for Setting Priorities Regulated species (sensitive, threatened, endangered) and habitats (wetlands) Save the Best: near pristine conditions, best representation of habitat type) Habitats that are conservation targets (e.g. your state’s Conservation Strategy) Protect “Inclusions”—rock outcrops, wetlands, cliffs, caves, “balds”, etc. Address impaired ecological functions Protect investments (complete and maintain projects) Seize opportunities (funding sources, partnerships)
