Finch Delivers Responsibility Message

In some ways, forestry management is an inexact science, or at least an unpredictable one. Periodic checks sometimes yield invasive plants and pests. The emerald ash borer beetle, likely imported from its native Asia via pallets or other wooden shipping materials, was discovered in New York state this past spring and has been responsible for killing tens of millions of trees since its 2002 discovery in Michigan.

A far more pleasant obstacle for foresters is dealing with native wildlife. Cronin pointed out various heron nesting spots that call for healthy sized human-free zones. The health of the forest is perhaps Finch's No. 1 priority, and the company beams with pride at its status as an integrated manufacturer and responsible steward for the thousands of acres it manages.
