00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.000
PotlatchDeltic owns highly productive timberlands in the US South principally southern yellow pine.

00:00:10.100 --> 00:00:14.000
The recent Deltic merger added high-value mature stands.

00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:21.000
We plant 17-18 million seedlings a year with annual growth rates of 6-9%.

00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:35.000
At 13-15 years, stands are commercially thinned harvesting pulpwood for external sale and opening stands for sunlight and optimal growth.

00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:52.000
At 26-30 years stands are harvested and trees are delimbed, logs are sorted and merchandised and loaded for transport to optimal markets.

00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:59.000
Approximately half of the final harvest is used internally with the remainder sent to a wide range of nearby mills.

00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:11.000
Our foresters monitor growth and prescribe treatments to maintain forest health and use the latest technology to prepare plans to maximize productivity.

00:01:11.100 --> 00:01:20.000
We responsibly manage our timberlands on a sustained yield basis and verify our practices through 3rd-party certification.

00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:28.000
Working forests create optimal wildlife habitat for a wide range of species.

00:01:28.100 --> 00:01:32.000
Certain areas are managed to protect habitat, including the endangered Red-Cockaded Woodpecker.

00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:40.000
Over 90% of our lands are leased for hunting and a wide range of recreational uses.

00:01:40.100 --> 00:01:44.000
These lands are part of our legacy.

00:01:44.100 --> 00:01:52.000
We are conserving our forests for the generations to come.
