Stimson, IDL Agreement Protects Idaho Forest
A group including Stimson Lumber Co., the Idaho Dept. of Lands (IDL), and non-profit Trust for Public Land recently announced an easement agreement that will protect 10,846 acres of working forests in Bonner and Boundary counties.
Under the agreement, IDL holds the development rights to land owned and logged by Stimson Lumber Co., ensuring the easement areas will not be subdivided and will continue to contribute to the local timber industry.
According to Sam McSherry, Trust for Public Land project manager, the value of the easement will become more and more apparent as time goes on. He noted that dedicating timberland to be worked in perpetuity supports sustainable harvesting practices and jobs in logging and the forest industry.
