The Nature Conservancy Partnership

We were the owners and stewards of 161,000 acres of Adirondack forests for more than a century before selling those lands to The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in 2007. TNC then hired our foresters to manage the lands for them.

In effect, they were saying: keep managing these forests with the same care, concern and science-based methodologies that you’ve handed down from one generation of trained foresters to the next.

Our collaborative relationship with The Nature Conservancy is grounded in our common belief that environmentally sound forest management is good for society and good for the forest. Finch Paper is pleased to work alongside The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in the forest and harvest some of the wood from TNC lands to make our products.

The healthy forests along lakeshores, riverbanks, and in close proximity to ecologically sensitive areas are a testament to that careful stewardship. See the forests at the time of the sale to The Nature Conservancy in 2007.
