Overview
"Potlatch" is Chinook for giving, but you'll have to pay for Potlatch's wood products. The real estate investment trust (REIT) harvests timber from approximately 1.5 million acres of hardwood and softwood forestland located in Arkansas, Idaho, and Minnesota; it claims to be the largest private landowner in Idaho. The company sells real estate that it believes has more value for development or recreation than as timberland; nearly 20% of its land potentially falls under this category. Potlatch also operates five mills that produce plywood and lumber. Additionally, it generates revenue from its land by selling hunting leases, recreation permits, or mineral rights leases, and is looking to grow this business.
