Gov. Greg Gianforte traveled to Columbia Falls Tuesday to present his annual Forest Products Award to the F.H. Stoltz Land & Lumber Company. The award honors Stoltz VP/General Manager Pual McKenzie (Pictured) for his leadership in the company’s efforts at forest management.
The Governor tells us that Stoltz practices active forest management, including sustainable harvest practices, stewardship of 40,000 acres of timberland, and operation of a biomass co-generation facility that powers up to 3,000 homes, exemplifying their dedication to Montana’s forests, economy, and rural communities. Stoltz he says, is one of the few remaining fully integrated forest products companies left in the northwest, meaning they own and manage timberland and operate a saw milling facility.
