On Friday we toured the woods of the International Paper company for presentations on; Silviculture, the Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI), Special Places, and Harvesting.
Picnic lunch was at Bewabic State Park hosted by International Paper.

Hosts Bill Cook and Eva Rice in the woods of International Paper with Nick Monkevich and Leland Crawford.
International Paper owns and manages 570,000 acres of forest in the Quinnesec region. From their forestlands they provide the Quinnesec Paper mill with 1.5 million tons of wood annually.
On our tour we learned about their methods of selective harvesting in a fully regulated forest and how their forest practices are compliant with the Sustainable Forest Initiative.
