the forest is more than trees
Caring for what matters, across the forest
Across these forests are places that matter—for wildlife, for water, for the people who live here. Places that need care, so they stay healthy, for this generation and the next.
Conservation isn't something separate from how we manage the land. It's built into how we plan, how we work, and the choices we make every day.
How we conserve
-
27%
of land in conservation
1 in 4 acres of the productive forest we own or manage is set aside for conservation—more than 1.3 million acres, including waterways, older forests, and protected natural areas.
-
2,400+
unique sites safeguarded
Our voluntary Conservation Areas Program looks after thousands of unique places, preserving wildlife habitats, rare plants, wetlands, waterfalls, and historic sites.
-
49,000 km
of watercourses protected
A protective buffer is placed around every stream, river, lake, and wetland across our woodlands, helping keep water clean, cool, and resilient. 49,000 km – that’s 6 times the width of Canada – coast to coast.

Wildlife, Up Close
Our research trail cams capture the wildlife that lives around us every day, both the familiar and the rarely seen, helping us better understand and care for the forest.
