Pyramid Mountain Lumber is respected throughout the industry for its quality
products. One of the ways that Pyramid Mountain Lumber ensures its products
are of the utmost quality is by seeing that timber harvesters use Forestry
Best Management Practices which comply with Section 208 (Non-point Pollution
Requirements) of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
 Another
way Pyramid Mountain Lumber ensures quality forest products for its customers
is its commitment to establishing healthy forests through long-term stewardship
of the land. Pyramid Mountain Lumber’s guiding principles and philosophy
can be found in The
Stewardship Letter. The gist of the letter is that Pyramid is committed
to economically and environmentally responsible sustainable forestry practices
that protect Montana's timber, wildlife, air, soil and water resources.
 The
quality of Pyramid Mountain Lumber’s products is also due to the quality
of its employees. Each month, representatives from the Western Wood Products
Association (WPPA) come to the mill to evaluate Pyramid Mountain Lumber’s
graders, and each month Pyramid Mountain Lumber takes pride in the high reviews
its graders receive.
The bottom line is that Pyramid Mountain Lumber’s stewardship philosophy
and the skill of its employees produces quality lumber products for customers
around the globe while ensuring healthy forests for generations to come!
 The
EPA web site defines a Best Management Practice (BMP) as “… a practice
or combination of practices considered by a State [or authorized Tribe] to be
the most effective means (including technological, economic and institutional
considerations) of preventing or reducing the amount of pollution by nonpoint
sources to a level compatible with water quality goals."
