Its What We Do! Grow New Forests Plant 20 Million Conifer Seedlings Maintain Wildlife Forest Units Protect The Forest Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

THE SPIRIT OF INNOVATION Forest Stewardship Council Certification (FSC) Promote the development and adoption of non- chemical methods of pest management… if chemicals are used, proper equipment and training shall be provided to minimize health and environmental risks

THE SPIRIT OF INNOVATION Why Use Herbicide? Transfer of on-site soil nutrients, moisture and sunlight to young conifer seedlings to improve survival and growth Safe and effective

THE SPIRIT OF INNOVATION Why Aerial Application? Safety –public & employee –environment Productivity –remote sites –short biological window
