We are Potlatch Corporation, a verified leader in sustainable forestry. With approximately 1.4 million acres certified to FSC? standards, we grow trees, sell timber, and manufacture solid wood products. Since 1903, we have sought the common ground that enables us to unlock the value of our lands while conserving our forests for generations to come. How do you derive commercial value from a forest while ensuring its long-term sustainability? We've led the way in answering that question since 1903?as a landowner, as a grower and harvester of trees, and as a manufacturer of forest products.
Today, as a Real Estate Investment Trust, or REIT, we own approximately 1.42 million acres of forestland in Arkansas, Idaho, and Minnesota. Every acre that we use for silviculture is certified under the rigorous standards of the Forest Stewardship Council, and every acre is managed for maximum value.

Through its taxable REIT subsidiary, the company also operates six manufacturing facilities that produce lumber and panel products. The company, which employs approximately 1,000 people, also conducts a real estate sales and development business through its taxable REIT subsidiary. Potlatch, a verified forest practices leader, is committed to providing superior returns to stockholders through long-term stewardship of its resources.

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
