In Honor of Earth Day
At Azelis A&ES Forestry, we believe Earth Day is more than just a celebration of nature—it’s a time to educate, engage, and inspire action. And one of the best ways we can do that is by sharing how our industry is actually one of the most sustainable in the country.
Sustainable by Nature, Sustainable by Design
Forestry isn’t about depletion—it’s about renewal. Our work supports a natural cycle: we help landowners grow and manage pine forests, harvest them at maturity, and replant them for the next generation. It’s a model of sustainability that ensures forests are never lost, only reborn.
In fact, more trees are planted than harvested every single year in the United States. Thanks to intentional forest management, there are more trees in America today than there were over 200 years ago. That’s not a statistic you hear often, but it’s one that speaks volumes about our commitment to the land.
Our Role in the Cycle
At Azelis A&ES Forestry, we provide the tools, knowledge, and support that landowners need to grow healthy, high-yield pine forests. We work side-by-side with land managers to:
- Maximize forest health and productivity
- Improve soil conservation
- Reduce the risk of wildfire through smart land management
- Ensure biodiversity and habitat protection
- Support replanting and regeneration after harvest
Our forestry solutions are built on science, not shortcuts—and our team is passionate about helping landowners make responsible, profitable, and environmentally sound decisions.
A Misunderstood Industry
We get it—cutting down trees feels counterintuitive to protecting the planet. But in reality, the forestry industry is one of the few that actively replenishes its own resources. Every harvested tree represents years of careful planning, and every newly planted seedling is an investment in the future.
The alternative to managed forestry is not untouched wilderness—it’s often neglect, overgrowth, and higher wildfire risk. Sustainable forest management actually keeps ecosystems healthier and more resilient.
Our Earth Day Commitment
This Earth Day, we want to be loud and clear: we are in the business of growing trees.
We are committed to:
- Continuing to plant more trees than we harvest
- Educating the public about the true sustainability of our industry
- Helping landowners be strong stewards of their forests
- Supporting research and innovation in sustainable forestry practices
Watch Our Sustainability Video
We invite you to watch our latest sustainability video and take a closer look at how we work, what we stand for, and why forestry is a green industry in every sense of the word.
Let’s reshape the narrative around forestry—because when done right, forestry isn’t the problem. It’s part of the solution.
