Integrated Resource Management

Environmental Pride and Forest StewardshipWarm Springs Forest Products harvests the Nature's tress in harmony with the ecosystem. As the Earth's Farmers, we maintain the balance and ensure there is little impact on the land.

The inspiration for integrated resource management was derived from the tenants of the Declaration of Sovereignty. These long-standing beliefs are reinforced by thoughtful leadership that reflects the values, beliefs, teachings and practices of several hundred generations who relied on the resources from this land.

Integrated management combines an understanding of tribal values with the knowledge to assess circumstances in the natural world. The U.S. government retains sacred treaty trust and public trust obligations to support tribal resource management.

Forest Stewardship Council Certification

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging the responsible management of the world’s forests. The FSC sets high standards that ensure forestry is practiced in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable way.

Landowners and companies that sell timber or forest products seek FSC certification as a way to verify to consumers that they have practiced forestry consistent with FSC standards. Independent, certification organizations are accredited by FSC to carry out assessments of forest management to determine if standards have been met. These certifiers also verify that companies claiming to sell FSC certified products have tracked their supply back to FSC certified sources. The Chain-of-Custody Certification assures that consumers can trust the FSC label.

Excerpt From the Declaration of Sovereignty

At the time of creation the Creator placed us in the land and gave us the voice of the land and that is our law. Ultimate sovereignty is vested in the people, who received their sovereign authority in the form of laws given by the creator and by the land itself. We shall, as we always have, live in balance with the land and never use more of our precious natural resources than can be sustained forever.
