Lyme purchased thousands of acres of timberland in rural Dixie County, Florida and added environmentally-beneficial working forest conservation easements (WFCEs). The WFCEs permanently protect the land from development and ensure that it continues to be a productive, working forest supporting local jobs, and providing vital product to local mills. Lyme’s socially responsible approach includes certified sustainable forestry practices and fair logger contracts. The project’s location preserves a continuous conservation corridor of 196,000 acres, protecting regional ecosystems.
