J.M. Huber Corporation has enjoyed a long relationship with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) a group known for its innovative approach to, as its slogan states, "saving the last great places".

Among these innovations is their use of "compatible forestry". By judiciously harvesting timber on selected areas adjacent to their preserves, The Nature Conservancy can realize a perpetual income to help fund current and future conservation projects.

Because of our highly-disciplined system of management, Huber Resources professionals are able to successfully blend TNC's ecosystem management mandates with exemplary, value-added timber harvesting on selected lands.

At Huber Resources Corporation, we believe that "doing things right" from an economic sense and "doing the right things" for the environment are both essential to long-term success.

A story we like to tell is about the pine marten. Also known as the sable, this small predator is plentiful on much of the land we manage in the United States. The challenge is, in order to flourish, each pair of martens requires a complex set of forest conditions spanning over 1,200 acres.

And, as our wildlife biologist likes to say, "If you can successfully manage for a 'high maintenance' creature like the marten, you can manage for the other vertebrates as well." By working with researchers and foresters, we're confident that the pine marten will flourish on Huber lands for years to come - with no reduction in land productivity.

We believe it's a privilege and an obligation to bring this measure of ecological consciousness to all our clients.

"At Huber, responsible stewardship of the environment has always been the way we conduct business. We believe it is not only possible to run a business and take care of the environment - we consider it desirable. We would argue that operating in an environmentally sound manner is the best way to be profitable over the long haul."
