The Westervelt Company, a land resource organization, subscribes to Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) practices. Our timber-management practices include: streamside-management zones to improve water quality, immediate replanting to ensure a sustainable forest, continual forest management, and wildlife enhancement with on-staff biologists.

The Westervelt Company plants millions of trees each year, harvests only in small compartments, and is the only major industrial landowner to be recognized by the Alabama Forestry Commission for pioneering forest management techniques, wildlife enrichment efforts, and conservation practices.

We are committed to:

• Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from our business operations.
• Protecting and enhancing watershed quality on company owned, leased, or managed lands and reducing our water usage where possible.
• Improving habitat quality wherever we operate.
• Managing our renewable resources in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner.
• Improving the efficiency of our energy consumption.
• Seeking ways to use renewable energy sources.
• Working with our government and regulatory agencies, customers, suppliers, and associates to mutually improve our environment.

The Westervelt Company is committed to its conservation mission. We follow best management practices in all of our business endeavors, with a mission to preserve land for future generations.

We ensure our commitments exceed environmental, legal, and regulatory requirements, and robustly pursue new practices to help support our environmental policy.
