The National Wild Turkey Federation and Louisiana-Pacific Corporation have teamed up to create an exciting new partnership aimed at promoting active forest management for the health and benefit of the nation’s forests, as well as for the wildlife and people who enjoy them.
Together, NWTF and LP will provide family forest owners and loggers with the information they need to provide quality turkey habitat through the harvesting of trees, which benefits the wildlife while providing timber for manufacturing facilities.
“LP and NWTF share a strong commitment to the health of our forests and the wildlife habitats they provide,” said George Thornton, CEO of NWTF. “This partnership will not only help our forests today but will help for generations to come.”
The memorandum of understanding, signed in Nashville at the 41st Annual NWTF Convention & Sport Show, establishes a partnership for cooperation and collaboration to promote sustainable forest management, particularly in overlapping focal landscapes shared by the NWTF and LP.
“At LP, we are pleased to partner with the National Wild Turkey Federation to further advance sustainable forest management,” said Brad Southern, LP’s chief operating officer. “We are dedicated to ensuring that the forests we procure wood from are responsibly managed to provide vital environmental, social and economic benefits – now and in the future.”
