highest standards of land management
ACT owns over 1,200 acres. We manage this land for a range of community benefits, including:
• Protect clean water
• Public recreation and aesthetic enjoyment
• Protect and enhance wildlife habitat
• Demonstrate good forest management
• Environmental education
• High quality timber
• Climate change resilience
• Hire local loggers, truckers, and other contractors
Several of our properties are certified as meeting the highest worldwide standards for forest management. By this summer, all of the land we own will be certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. We earned this by demonstrating compliance with a set of rigorous principles covering a range of ecological, social, and management criteria. The FSC "green certified" logo appears on wood and wood products harvested from certified forests. Look for the next time you're buying lumber, furniture, or even toilet paper!
Our Foss Forest and Evelyn-MacCornack Forest are both FSC certified. We'd love to tell you more about our management and better yet, show you these properties. Give us a call!
