Northland Forest

At Northland Forest Products, we take a long-term approach to the wood business. We know that with greater forest management and longer growing cycles, better wood will come out of the forest. We realize that decisions made in the woods today will affect the overall health and quality of the forests for years to come.

That is why from the beginning we have always made every attempt to purchase our wood from well-managed forests to help maintain the delicate balance between our natural resources and society's demands.

Since 1996, Northland Forest Products has been chain-of-custody certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The FSC is the leader in third party sustainable forestry certification, and we are committed to doing everything we can to source and market FSC-certified lumber. We are proud to be one of the leading suppliers of wood from FSC-certified forests.

At all our locations, we have made a commitment to maximize energy efficiency including the use of non-polluting and recyclable products whenever possible. For example, used steel strapping is chopped up for resale to scrap dealers, waste oil is recycled, and we use water-based end paint instead of oil-based. The waste wood generated by our planing and trimming operations is used as fuel to make steam for our dry kilns and we use a multi-cyclone particulate removal system after the wood-fired boiler.

We encourage our employees to participate on a local and regional level with organizations that promote land conservation, responsible environmental education, and sustainable forest management. This includes local conservation commissions, Project Learning Tree, The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, the Society of American Foresters, and the New England Forestry Foundation.
