About Us

The Lyme Great Lakes Timberlands property is the largest private forestland ownership in the region and includes some of the area’s highest quality sugar maple stands, as well as a diversity of other hardwood and softwood species. The property also benefits from strong, stable markets for wood products.

Lyme Great Lakes Timberlands is managed by Lyme Great Lakes Forest Management, a portfolio company of The Lyme Timber Company. With offices in Escanaba and L’Anse, Michigan, Lyme Great Lakes Forest Management manages sustainable harvesting operations to support local economic development and seeks opportunities to permanently protect the forestland through the sale of conservation interests. The property is managed and dual certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI®) and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) standards to ensure sustainable management and conservation of the forest resources.
