  • 🌲𝟱𝟬 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗲, 𝗜𝗱𝗮𝗵𝗼🌲 Last week, Idaho Forest Group proudly celebrated the 50th anniversary of our Laclede mill, the facility where so much of our story began. What started as a single sawmill in a small North Idaho town has grown into one of the nation's leading lumber producers. Today, IFG produces more than 1 billion board feet of lumber annually, but our success is built on the generations of employees, families, and communities who helped make it possible. Here's to 50 years of hard work, resilience, and commitment to creating a stronger future from one of America's most renewable resources. 🎉Please join us at our Lewiston mill on October 30th as we celebrate 100 years at that site and showcase the 80 ft. U.S. Capitol Christmas tree as it makes a stop at our celebration! 𝘐𝘍𝘎 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 2026 𝘜.𝘚.

Chosen from a different national forest each year, the 2026 tree will hail from Idaho's 4-million-acre Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests, named for the Nimíipuu (Nez Perce) people and their term Koos-Koos-Kai-Kai, which means "clear water."

Long before smoke fills the sky, foresters, land managers, and firefighters are working to reduce risk through science-based forest stewardship. Activities such as thinning overgrown forests, reducing hazardous fuels, and responsibly salvaging damaged timber help improve forest health and resilience while creating conditions that can lessen the severity of future wildfires.   𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀.

  • An insightful reminder about the importance of active forest management.

    Well before the Grasshopper Fire ignited, local communities, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Wasco County Forest Collaborative identified these forests on Oregon's Mt. Hood National Forest as a high priority for hazardous fuels reduction. They developed more than 11,000 acres of collaborative forest management projects intended to reduce wildfire risk and improve forest health. Much of that work remained unimplemented after years of litigation and administrative delay. One of those projects was challenged by an anti-forestry group, which ultimately received $55,000 in taxpayer funded attorney fees after settling its lawsuit with the Forest Service. Today, much of that same project area is burning before the planned work could be completed. The Grasshopper Fire is a reminder that delaying active forest management has real consequences. When projects designed to reduce hazardous fuels are postponed for years, forests, wildlife habitat, watersheds, and nearby communities bear the cost.
