Inland Empire Paper Company (IEP) owns over 120,000 acres of timberland in northeastern Washington and northern Idaho. Private timberlands like these provide many of the wood products used by the public. Each year IEP harvests enough trees to build 4,300 houses. We plant approximately 750,000 tree seedlings each year. Our long-term Forest Management Plan ensures that we can harvest this timber forever.
Part of the IEP philosophy is to protect other resources that you enjoy such as fish and wildlife habitat, water quality, aesthetic values, and recreational opportunities.
