SPI Forests: A Hub for Wildlife and Botanical Diversity

07 April 2026 02:08

Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI) implements sustainable forestry practices that benefit both climate and biodiversity. Key facts include: SPI forests have sequestered millions of metric tons of CO2 since 1990.

Over 250 vertebrate wildlife species are documented across their managed timberlands. Their lands host over 2,000 plant species, representing 20-25% of California's flora.

Active conservation programs include species-specific agreements for fishers, spotted owls, and botanical research. Through dedicated forest planning and scientific study, SPI aims to balance timber production with the conservation of vital ecological resources.
