How International Paper Works With Forest Landowners for Conservation Impact
International Paper (IP) is progressing towards its goal of conserving and restoring 1 million acres of ecologically significant forestland by 2030. The company's strategy involves working with wood suppliers, forest landowners, community stakeholders, and conservation organizations. A key example is IP's long-standing relationship with Wise Batten, who owns a forest plantation in Black Swamp along the Savannah River floodplain.
Batten's land provides renewable fiber for IP's products while also serving as a habitat for wildlife, including the Swallow-tailed Kite. Through best management practices and conservation easements, Batten is helping to protect thousands of acres for future generations. IP collaborates with landowners like Batten to organize tours for customers, showcasing sustainable forestry practices and their importance in creating healthier, more abundant forests.
International Paper (IP) sta facendo progressi verso il suo obiettivo di conservare e ripristinare 1 milione di acri di foreste ecologicamente significative entro il 2030. La strategia dell'azienda prevede la collaborazione con fornitori di legno, proprietari terrieri, parti interessate della comunità e organizzazioni per la conservazione. Un esempio significativo è la lunga relazione di IP con Wise Batten, che possiede una piantagione forestale nel Black Swamp lungo la pianura alluvionale del fiume Savannah.

Engaging with suppliers and partners
As we move toward our target of conserving and restoring 1 million acres of ecologically significant forestland by 2030, we are working with strategic partners to safeguard the long-term resilience of our forests and the communities they sustain. Our cooperation with partners has three strands:
1. Working directly with wood suppliers and forest landowners to promote sustainable management practices
2. Engaging stakeholders in the communities where we operate
3. Collaborating with conservation organizations to enhance ecologically important areas and restore forests worldwide
Working with forest landowners
For over two decades, IP has cultivated a strong relationship with Wise Batten who, together with his family, owns a forest plantation covering thousands of acres in Black Swamp. Located along the floodplain of the Savannah River, this land provides some of the valuable renewable fiber used in International Paper's products.
Working with forest landowners like Batten is one way we live out our commitment to responsible forest stewardship. With development steadily moving inland from the coast and demand for residential housing and manufacturing sites growing, selling the Loblolly pine trees grown there offers Batten a way to protect the land while also enjoying and sharing the recreational opportunities it affords to the community.
Black Swamp isn't just a working forest; it also provides habitat for deer, turkey and many other types of migratory and non-migratory birds. Since the land sits in a strategic location along the migration path of the Swallow-tailed Kite, Batten is supporting IP's work to help understand and protect natural wildlife in the region through our partnership with the American Bird Conservancy (see page 32).
Through best management practices and conservation efforts, Batten is also helping save the land for generations. Alongside community partners, Batten has helped protect thousands of acres in perpetuity at Black Swamp through conservation easements. These easements are voluntary, legal agreements between the landowner and land trust or government agency that permanently limit the use of the land to protect its conservation value.
To help share the importance of sustainable forestry, International Paper teams up with landowners like Batten to hold tours for customers who purchase IP products. During these tours, customers can learn more about the practices that create healthier and more abundant forests and discover what sustainable forestry means to landowners.
