Water Quality

Over the years, the forest products industry, professional foresters, environmental scientists, loggers and federal and state agencies have developed timber harvesting practices to protect the quality of our streams and wetlands. These practices have come to be known as Best Management Practices (BMPs) and are incorporated into the SFI® Program. To read more about Idaho’s Forest Practices Act and Best Management Practices to protect water quality and fish habitat, visit the Idaho Forest Products Commission, or the Idaho Department of Lands, Forestry Assistance Bureau.
