IFG Resource Analyst, Tera King, was a featured speaker at the National Association of State Trust Lands (NASTL) summer conference in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Representatives from across the country met to discuss the vital role state trust lands play in funding public schools (K-12 and universities) and enjoyed a tour of IFG’s Chilco sawmill as part of the conference. State trust lands are typically leased for livestock grazing, agriculture, timber production, and renewable energy development and are a critical resource that balances revenue generation for public schools with sustainable land management and conservation. In Idaho, the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) manages the state’s timberland asset on behalf of the endowments (public schools and hospitals) and sells timber through a competitive bid process. IFG is proud to support this important program and, on average, purchases 48% of what IDL offers for sale; which means, 20% of our logs come from Idaho state trust lands. A portion of our logs are also purchased from the states of Washington and Montana.
