IDL foresters protect our renewable timber resources by managing the land, harvesting the trees, planting new trees, and repeating. A large portion of the annual income for the endowment trusts is derived from the sale and harvest of timber. We are committed to ensuring endowment forests remain strong, healthy, fire resilient and productive for generations to come.
IDL manages about one million acres of endowment timberland, which make up about 6% of forests in Idaho. However, IDL contributes approximately 30% of the timber harvested in the state.
