Sustainable Forestry Initiative I Logger Education I Visual Quality
			One of the best ways to ensure environmentally sensitive timber harvests is to educate the people who harvest the trees. For this reason, Bennett Lumber requires all of its loggers to become accredited with the American Logging Conferences Pro- Logger training program. Completion of the University of Idaho's Logger Education to Advance Professionalism (LEAP) course and the state's Best Management Practices training course is mandatory for all accredited loggers.
			These courses teach loggers fundamental concepts related to forest ecology and water quality issues and the proper management practices to employ to assure protection of forest ecosystems.
