Conservation

Conservation ensures that natural resources are managed in a way that meets present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.

Idaho Forest Group is deeply committed to sustainable forestry practices and environmental stewardship in a way that balances environmental protection, while securing resources for the long term. Our commitment can be seen in what we do, how we do it, and with whom we partner.

Partners in Conservation

For over forty years, IFG has been heavily involved in conservation collaboratives at the local, state, and federal level to support the longevity and conservation of the natural resources that our business relies on. Through these partnerships, we engage in long-term conservation initiatives, share knowledge, and contribute to projects that enhance forest ecosystems. By building strong partnerships, we uphold our dedication to responsible forestry to preserve the integrity of the lands we harvest.

High Quality Standards

High quality is ingrained in the IFG culture, which is how we maintain our Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) certifications. The SFI program is one of the world’s most rigorous and widely applied standards of sustainable forestry. SFI standards encompass over 100 measurable requirements that regulate every aspect of forest management, including growing, harvesting, and replanting.

Production Utilization and Efficiency

IFG uses 100% of every tree. Efficiency is a core pillar across all our operations and we are continually researching innovative ways to allocate the entirety of every tree harvested.
