Finch Paper manages thousands of acres of forested land in the Adirondacks. The Finch in the Forest Blog, has this to say about their approach to forestry, and the environment.

"The forests that we manage include beech, ash, maple, birch, white pine and hemlock trees to name a few. Our forest management practices are designed to mimic—not manipulate–Mother Nature. By primarily using the Shelterwood System, we gradually harvest a forest (in stages over a 70 to 150-year period), taking only the poorest-quality trees each time which gives the healthier trees room to grow and drop seeds for the next generation of forest. This form of management also creates scattered openings in the forest canopy, allowing sun and moisture to reach the forest floor — and the seeds deposited there.

Using sustainable forestry practices, we cut less than what can grow every year. In our case, it is less than 4% of the forest acres."
