Industry $$ For Environment

During the first year of the American Forest & Paper Association's Sustainable Forestry Initiative, the industry spent hundreds of millions on new environmental programs in place and suspended 17 companies from association membership for failing to live up to the goals of the initiative.

In 1995 AF&PA members spent $52.8 million on forest-related research. clear cut only l.6Vo of 52 mil- lf you enioy tolking lumber with people who know how if's produced, where il's produced, ond who produces it, coll us. We hove over 150 yeors'experience ol your disposol. lion acres of their forestland and reforested 1.2 million acres.

"This initiative is about making sure that good forest management practices are implemented on the ground," said AF&PA president and ceo W. Henson Moore. "It reflects our commitments to change, provid- ing measurable environmental progress, and global leadership to sustain our forests while continuing to meet the people's needs for wood and paper products."

Chairman Steve Mason added: "Companies that do not live up to these standards ofconduct face exoulsion from the association. I can tell you quite frankly it is no easy matter to turn members away - or to cause companies to drop their membership as some two dozen have already done. But that is the price of putting teeth in our program."

$1.37 Billion Forestry Sale

New Zealand is looking for a foreign buyer for its state-owned Forestry Corp., which owns 464,360 acres of timberland, with an asking price of about $ 1.37 billion.

"It's unofficially been for sale for some time, but they recently hired a team of consultants from Britain to determine the value of the company and to solicit bids," said Bill Gaittens of Forestry Corp.'s U.S. sales agent, Berdex Forest Products, Marysville, Ca. "The sale should take several months. If they aren't satisfied with any of the bids, they'll likely pull it off the table for a while."

The New Zealand government said Forestry Corp. would be better off with a private owner who could process raw logs instead of exporting them. Proceeds from the privatization could repay nearly half of its national debt.
