Keeping forests as forests

Through strong demand markets

Enviva produces a sustainable forest product in the Southeast U.S., where the majority of forests are privately owned. Many of these forests are grown for timber production and, after harvesting, they are replanted or naturally regenerated as part of the forest regeneration practice that has been ongoing for centuries in the region. Markets for forest products impact landowner decisions about how to utilize their land and are a key reason landowners continue to invest in forests by planting seedlings, cultivating natural regrowth, managing these timberlands, harvesting, and consistently repeating the cycle. As a result of landowner decisions and care for their forests, for every ton of wood harvested from the working forests of the U.S. Southeast, approximately 1.75 tons grow each year. Clearly, the U.S. Southeast forest landscape is complex and dynamic, and home to a robust forest products industry and Enviva is proud to be a small, but important, part of this vital community of forest stewards.
